The immediate-past Senate President and National Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bukola Saraki, has warned the National Working Committee, NWC, of the main opposition party, not to interfere in the moves to reconcile warring party members, .
Saraki gave the warning on Wednesday, during the inauguration of the PDP National Reconciliation Committee.
He admitted that the help of the NWC is needed in reconciling members, but however, stated that himself and members of the Committee would resign, if their work is being interfered with.
His words: “We are however, very clear that our most important partner in this assignment is the NWC. Therefore, we seek your support and co-operation to ensure the success of this Committee on its Herculean assignment.
“As members of this Committee, we have decided to do only what is right. We do not have any personal interest and will not allow any interest other than of the party and what represents the truth, equity, objectivity, unity and peace to influence what we will do.
“The NWC must also give us free hand to operate. I want to make it very clear that we will put in our best. That is why we seek the cooperation of the NWC.
“However, if we see any sign that the NWC is working to undermine us, or that we are not working in sync in the performance of this assignment, with all sense of responsibility, we will not hesitate to tender our resignation. That is what the members of the Committee have asked me to convey to you, Mr. Chairman.”
