The committee which was led by the former National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, commended the rare display of colossal courage and sporting sprit of the party members and made it known that the party leadership has considered setting up the committee in order to foster unity among the party members, bringing members on board, and comforting aggrieved members who now live to the reality that PDP is better by far in areas of good governance, policy thrusts and dividends of democracy.
The Chairman, meanwhile inquired other reasons that resulted in previous election loss in their local government.
Baraje noted that while the Committee is currently on a tour to reconcile aggrieved party members across the 16 local government areas of the state, no member of the party would henceforth feel cheated or sidelined on any ground as justice, equity, fairness and level playing ground are orders of the day in the current PDP.

The Committee also boasted about reconciling various interest groups within the party and iron out issues related to loss of the party in the 2019 elections in order to ensure electoral victory of the party in the forth coming elections. During the meeting, the Committee equally united teeming youths, women, aspirants in the House of Representatives, House of Assembly who expressed their displeasures with the certain situations in the party.
Meanwhile, voluntary financiers of the party who felt the party didn’t patronise them were also engaged to avoid mistakes of the past.
