Tambuwal says PDP crisis almost resolvesd after visit to Ortom

Aminu Tambuwal, the Governor of Sokoto State and the Director General of the Presidential Campaign Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has paid a visit to Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state in a bid o resolve the crisis rocking the party.

Reports indicate that Governor Tambuwal reached out to his Benue State counterpart in a bid to reach a peaceful resolution in the ongoing crisis within the party.

The Benue state governor who is a member of the self-styled integrity group or G-5 governors revealed that the ongoing crisis in the party is a result of the arrogance and nonchalant attitude of the leadership of the party

Governor Ortom said: “Right from when we held our convention, instead of the leadership deploying its internal dispute resolution mechanism to look at the grievances that arose as a result of the dispute that arose from the primary, no matter how stupid they were, they have failed to do this.

“Rather, it is arrogance, nonchalant attitude; and nobody has cared to reach out to us even when we voiced out that things were not going on well."

The Benue state governor, however, lauded the efforts of Governor Tambuwal's visit while stating that he is positive that the crisis within the party (PDP) will be resolved soon.

Meanwhile, Governor Tambuwal revealed that the party is on the verge of squashing the feud within the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Governor Tambuwal described his colleague Governor Ortom as a man of principle while also noting that a meeting is set in motion to meet the other members of the G-5 governors.

He said: "I will engage with the rest of our colleagues and our leaders to see how best we can come back together as one family and work towards making sure that the PDP come out stronger and win the elections in 2023.”
