Former Governor of Abia State, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, has commended President, Goodluck Jonathan for setting up a committee to reconcile the warring factions in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). The committee will visit Abia State today.
Kalu, who regretted that he would not be in his native Abia State today when the committee would be visiting, however, pledged his support for the committee not only in Abia State but in all the states of the federation, where the reconciliation effort would be adjudged necessary.
Speaking while in far away China, Kalu said: “It has just been brought to my attention that a reconciliation committee set up by our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), would be visiting Abia State tomorrow (today), Monday, September 22, 2014.
“I regret that this laudable initiative is taking place at a time I am outside the country, in far away China on a business trip. It would have been my pleasure to welcome the reconciliation committee to our dear state, as one of the founding members of the party.
I will like to state emphatically that having such committee to reconcile various contending interests round the country, is the way to go.
“For President Goodluck Jonathan to win landslide and return to office after the general elections next year, PDP must close ranks round the country. We need a cohesive front. As they say, the more the merrier. We do not need to antagonise any interest. In unity and cohesion, PDP will not only win the presidency with ease, but as many gubernatorial and National Assembly seats as possible around the country.
“I hereby pledge my support for the reconciliation exercise not only in Abia State, but in all parts of the country where such is necessary. I salute our party leaders past and present, and urge them to count on my support and goodwill at all times. Please be assured of my highest regards.”
