The FCT Minister and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Barr. Nyesom Wike, has assured aggrieved party members that they will retain their entitlements if they return, as he urged intensified reconciliation efforts within the party.
Wike gave the assurance on Monday at the party’s 108th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held at Wadata Plaza, Abuja.
He noted that many members defected due to uncertainty and the search for political stability, stressing the need for the party leadership to actively engage and reintegrate those who left.
He therefore called for the establishment of a strong committee to engage dissatisfied members, assuring that “there is room for them to come back, and whatever is due to them will still be given.”
The FCT minister further warned that unresolved internal disputes could weaken the party’s chances in future elections, urging swift action to address lingering grievances.
“In life, there must be a period of crisis. What matters is how we resolve it. Now that we are together, we must not stop at reconciliation,” he said.
Wike reaffirmed his loyalty declared that he has no intention of leaving the party despite ongoing tensions..
“I have been a member of this party since 1998 and I will not leave. Whatever happens, we will continue to live as members of the PDP,” he added.
