PDP Reconciliation Committee Meets North-East Governors, Pushes for Unity Ahead of 2027
By Abdulwahab Muhammad Bauchi
In a renewed effort to strengthen the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 elections, the party’s National Reconciliation Committee has met with three governors from the North-East and key stakeholders to resolve internal disputes.
Led by former Osun State Governor and ex-National Secretary of the PDP, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, the committee visited Bauchi on Tuesday, engaging in high-level talks with the governors of Adamawa, Bauchi, and Taraba states. The goal: to heal divisions, rebuild party unity, and strategize for a return to power.
“Our mission is clear—reaching out to aggrieved members and fostering unity,” Oyinlola said after the meeting. “The PDP must be a strong, credible opposition and a formidable force in 2027. This is achievable if all members prioritize the party’s collective interest over personal grievances.”
The reconciliation committee’s visit comes at a crucial time, as internal disagreements have weakened the PDP’s cohesion. However, Oyinlola praised the three North-East governors for their commitment to strengthening the party and urged them to deepen the reconciliation process.
Speaking on behalf of the governors, Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri described the initiative as timely, given the party’s lingering internal conflicts. He called for a collective approach, urging all factions to set aside differences and work towards a united front.
Fintiri also took aim at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing the federal government of worsening economic hardship through inconsistent policies. He assured that the PDP governors in the region would continue to support reconciliation efforts to position the party for a strong comeback.
As the PDP pushes to regain national leadership, the success of these reconciliation efforts could determine its chances in the next general elections.
