ASHENEWS reports that former Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan has been drafted to resolve the crisis presently rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Senator Gabriel Suswam, monitored by ASHENEWS on Arise TV on Thursday, revealed that moves had been made to draft Jonathan into reconciling aggrieved members of the PDP ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
Describing the party crisis as “family affair”, Suswam expressed hope that such would be resolved before the presidential election in February 2023.
“Jonathan has been dragged into the issue to resolve the matter. Solving this problem between the G-5 governors is what we should be looking at.
“When Wike inaugurated the election council in Rivers state, all the governors were there; they were also there when Ortom inaugurated the same in Benue state; this shows that they still love the party.
“PDP has the capacity and internal mechanisms to resolve its crisis; this is why we are bringing in Jonathan to help resolve the matter.
“Jonathan has been dragged into the issue to resolve the matter. Solving this problem is what we should be looking at. They still love their party at heart.
“Wike had said he is open to reconciliation, Ortom said some of his comments were misinterpreted,” the former Benue governor said.
Governors Nyesom Wike, Samuel Ortom, Seyi Makinde, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and Okezie Ikpeazu have called for the resignation of PDP national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu after the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the party’s presidential candidate.
