Politics of defection is about to be taken to high heavens
as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has setup reconciliation committee to
lure back its aggrieved members.
PDP disclosed yesterday that it has commenced efforts
to ensure that some of its former chieftains now in the opposition All
Progressives Congress (APC), including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar,
and Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, return to its fold.
According to the National Secretary of the PDP, Prof.
Wale Oladipo, the party has reached out to many of its aggrieved members,
especially those who have defected to other political parties.
“General Buhari is too old to rule Nigeria. He cannot
be compared with President Jonathan. He is too strict and harsh for Nigerians,
while Jonathan is meek, humble and dedicated to the cause of democracy and good
governance.
The reconciliation committee recently set up by the
National Working Committee (NWC) of the party will meet with all former members
in the APC and other political parties before the next general elections, to
ensure that the PDP wins in all parts of the country.
This would ensure the victory of President Goodluck
Jonathan in the February presidential poll and also brighten the chances of the
PDP in other elections.
Those who have left the PDP for personal and political
reasons would soon rejoin the party, going by the reconciliation efforts of the
leaders of the party.
The crisis in the Ondo State chapter of the PDP has
been resolved, and the two factions have agreed to work together.
