Kwara PDP factions reconcile
The two warring factions of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State have settled their differences.
The party had been polarised into Freedom and Unity groups before and after the state congress three weeks ago. Federal Character Commission Chair Prof Abdulraheem Oba led the freedom group; Senator Gbemisola Saraki led the other group.
The freedom group protested the results of the congress, alleging irregularities.
A statement yesterday by the freedom group's spokesperson, Tajudeen Kareem, said: "At a reconciliation meeting held in Abuja between the Chairman, Iyiola Oyedepo and the groups' leaders, everyone resolved to bury their grievances and work together.
"The meeting examined the lapses in the conduct of the congress and reviewed the roles played by elders and officials. It was resolved that party members should support the new executive members to build a durable party structure.
"Oyedepo denied that he was sponsored by some vested interests. He said his candidature received the support of opinion leaders and political heavyweights in the state. He also promised to run a transparent, democratic and an inclusive administration."
