Jerry Gana Says Nigerians Begging The PDP For Return Back In Power

Former minister of Information and Head of the Peoples Democratic Party’s reconciliation committee, Prof. Jerry Gana, on Tuesday said Nigerians want the return of the party into power.

A reconciliation committee had been created to resolve the lingering leadership crisis in the party.

Speaking after a meeting with factional PDP leader Sheriff, Gana said Nigerians are yearning and crying for PDP to return to power.

He said, “We are here to find out together how PDP can be solid, firm, cohesive and triumphant.

“This is because Nigerians are waiting for PDP, they are missing the PDP, they are crying and yearning for PDP because the 16 years of democracy cannot be wasted away.

“We are here not as a panel, not as a court, not even as an appeal committee but from the BoT as heirs of the family.

“In a family there must be sometimes problems here and there but there must be re-consolidation. Where there are elders people say things don’t go wrong.

“The purpose of our being here is for this party to be strong again and be reunited.

“We are delighted that there have been clear resolutions on the determination and the desire that the problems be resolved, unity be re-established and for PDP to move forward.”

He said the crisis continues to linger because leaders in the party do not respond to their responsibilities and keep perpetuating it.

He said, “I am ready to listen at any time to the committee but for the crisis to be fully resolved, the rule of law must be followed.

“The moment we want to use one impunity to address another, it will not work.

“If our leaders had taken their responsibilities, we would never have had most of the problems we are facing today.

“When a leader refuses to stand up to his responsibilities, there will be problem.

“Why am I saying this?

“Some of our leaders are party to our problems.”
