Sheath your Swords, Wabara urges Wike, Other Aggrieved PDP Members
POLITICS DIGEST- After meeting with Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom in Makurdi, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, yesterday urged aggrieved party members to sheath their sword.
Wabara said the ceasefire became imperative to enable the peace committee under his leadership resolve the lingering crisis in the opposition party.
According to him, every family has its own problems and there was need for all hands to be on deck to restore peace to the party.
The former Senate President said: “There is no family without problems and that is exactly why we have come to the head to encourage us with suggestions to solve the problems.

“As I said earlier, there is no problem without a solution. We should just watch our utterances, because we will all come back to the same table in the interest of Nigerians.”
According to the BoT chair, PDP was on a rescue mission.
“God just asked us to give way, eight years, for Nigerians to judge for themselves,” he said.
Acknowledging that the aggrieved members have their points, he promised: “We will look at it as the conscience of the party and come out with a decision very soon. We will reach out to the groups. That is why we came here so that he, (Ortom), will create the enabling environment for us to reach out to others.”
Ortom, who admitted being an aggrieved party member, commended the Wabara-led panel for its peace moves.
The governor said: “I have been with Wike. We are friends. We are colleagues and we share a common understanding on these issues. I commend the BOT for taking these steps because reconciliation is very key and that is why I said that the party leadership would have deployed its internal conflict resolution mechanism long ago. I commend this effort, reaching out, discussing and dialoguing.”
