“We are here as members of the PDP Reconciliation and Strategic committee as part of our nationwide consultation with our leaders which we started at the beginning of the week.

“We planned to start with former Presidents and founding Fathers of PDP. President Babangida is one of the founding fathers of PDP and someone we all respect.

“We briefed him on the steps taken and efforts made in reconciliation in the party. We seek for his support, advice and guidance,” Saraki said.

The former Senate President called on members of the PDP to have faith in the committee and their recommendations adding that they will not allow the recommendation to be tampered with.

“The committee is committed and we are working to ensure our recommendation are kept. We won’t allow anyone to tamper with our recommendation. We will ensure that there are fairness and equity.”

He assured the members of the PDP that the committee would do a job in reconciling members that they will be proud of.

“We appeal to our members to keep their faith in us, given the opportunity for us to finish our work. Those who are aggrieved should be patient, we will get to them. We are confident that we will do a job that they will be proud of and we will ensure that our recommendation is implemented.”

The Committee then paid a private non-political courtesy call on General Abdulsalami Abubakar and proceeded to the Government House to condole the state Governor on the recent abductions in the state.
