PDP BoT urges NWC factions to sheath swords

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) on Friday urged the two factions within the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) to sheath their swords and revert to the status quo.

The BoT Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, made the call in a statement in Abuja as part of its moves to resolve the ongoing internal crisis within the party.

The crisis in Nigeria’s biggest opposition party escalated earlier on Friday following the emergence of two factions with each issuing separate statements suspending key officers of the party.
