Saraki reacts as PDP sets up new committee ahead of party’s convention

On Sunday, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) set up a committee to ensure a hitch-free National Executive Council meeting and National Convention.

The seven-member committee was set up by the party during an emergency meeting of governors and past governors in Abuja on Sunday.

The committee, headed by the former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has been saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that the NEC meeting scheduled to take place on May 27 is free of every form of rancour.

Reacting to the development, Saraki said deliberations at the emergency meeting were fruitful.

He also noted that the PDP governors, both past and present, deliberated on the party’s challenges and possible solutions.

According to Sataki, the committee was set up as a means to chart a new path for the PDP.

“The committee is headed by my humble self, and I will have the pleasure of working with my brothers – HE Dauda Lawal, HE Caleb Muftwang, and HE Peter Mba, governors of Zamfara, Plateau and Enugu States, respectively.

“Other members are Sen. Seriake Dickson, Sen. Ibrahim Dankwambo, and former governor of Abia State, HE, Chief Okezie Ikpeazu,” Saraki wrote on X.

He also assured his total commitment to delivering on the task handed to him and to other members of the committee.

“We hope to do our best in delivering on the assignment given to us,” he added.
