PDP crisis coming to an end – BOT member

A member of the Board of Trustees, BoT, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Fasiu Bakene, has assured that the crisis bedeviling the party will soon be resolved.

Bakene gave this assurance in a statement in Abeokuta on Tuesday, saying despite the gale of defections, the PDP would come out strong in 2027.

The former member of the Ogun State House of Assembly stated that internal crises are not peculiar to the PDP, adding that he was optimistic that the party could resolve any internal conflict amicably.

According to him, the expulsion of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, a former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, and the party’s National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, at the national convention was long overdue.

“With the emergence of the new National Chairman, all rifts shall soon be resolved, notwithstanding the gale of defections

“It’s long overdue. Their utterances, actions, and constant breach of the PDP constitution over the years ought to have been checked. They have demonstrated their skill to kill the same party that made them somebody in the political space.

“They enjoyed demarketing the party. Their expulsion will definitely restore discipline and advance the party. The level of their impunity has contributed to a loss of interest and doubt about any progress within the party,” he said.
