Mark, Anyim, Gulak Make PDP Reconciliation Committee

Former Senate Presi­dents, Anyim Pius Anyim and Da­vid Mark are part of the 24-man reconciliation committee being put together by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to reconcile members of the party.

Since June this year, the party has been enmeshed in leadership crisis which led to the sealing off of the party’s National Sec­retariat also called Wa­data House.

It was also learnt that the 24-man commit­tee, which was agreed on by Ali Modu Sheriff and Ahmed Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee factions, will be inaugu­rated on Wednesday as against Monday which was earlier disclosed.

The two factions are ex­pected to nominate equal number of 12 members each.

An impeccable source told The AUTHORITY that while Anyim and Mark top the 12 mem­bers of Makarfi group to be appointed for the reconciliation commit­tee, Ojougboh and Gulak top Sheriff’s list of the 12 members.

Other members of Ma­karfi group, include all members of the Caretak­er Committee, who are, Senators Ben Obi, Abdul Ningi and Odio Ugbesi as well as the committee’s Legal Adviser and Wom­an Leader.

On the side of Senator Sheriff, the source said are all members of his interim National Work­ing Committee (NWC) as well as Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, former Political Advisers to former Presi­dent Goodluck Jonathan.

Those appointed as in­terim NWC by Sheriff are Prof Wale Oladipo, Dr Cairo Ojougboh, Alhaji Adewale Adeyanju, Dr Bernard Dikko, among others.

The source said Ma­karfi and Sheriff will not be members of the com­mittee.
