“The NWC notes with satisfaction the stand of the body of PDP governors on the need to adopt a political solution in bringing lasting peace to the party.The NWC restates its readiness to fully participate in the peace process.”

PDP governors had on Tuesday met with former President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja to find ways of resolving the crisis in the party.

Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum and Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele fayose told journalists at the end of the meeting that they want “political solution to the party’s crisis.”

The Ekiti governor said the meeting was at the instance of the former president, “who is genuinely interested in finding a solution to the crisis” and urged party members to refrain from making inflammatory statements that could compound PDP’s problems.
