The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday invited all its former members who had left the party to return and that there is enough room to accommodate them all.

In a press statement emailed to Channels Televison, the PDP Chairman, Bamanga Tukur said this invitation was in line with “the on-going efforts to promote reconciliation within the Peoples Democratic Party, in line with the NEC approved basic philosophy of the Triple ‘R’s.”

Mr Tukur said “the National Working Committee, at its 316th meeting held on Wednesday, 19th September, 2012, decided as follows:

(i) That the PDP Umbrella is big enough to accommodate everybody and therefore calls on all those who left the Party, or are not actively working with the Party, for any reason(s) to return to the party through their wards.

(ii) That this exercise be carried out within thirty (30) days from now;

(iii) That Ward Chairmen and Secretaries should register such returning members without inhibitions;

(iv) That anyone not allowed to go through this process should report such hindrance(s) to the next level, and up to the National Secretariat.”

The PDP Chairman said that the party’s National Working Committee has set up “zonal reconciliation committees which will handle lingering disagreements and forge a more united Party.”
