Former president Goodluck Jonathan has met with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) peace committee to Bayelsa and other party leaders in the state.
The meeting was aimed to resolve the crisis engulfing the opposition party in the state.
The PDP rejected that the Seriake Dickson, Bayelsa state governor, and Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, a former governor of the state, were sent out of the committee’s meeting in Bayelsa.
Cairo Ojougboh, party’s national vice chairman, South-South, vis statement said that the explanation was necessary after media reports that the two politicians were sent out of the party’s peace meeting at Otuoke, Bayelsa, on August 1.
The statement reads in part: “I, Ojougboh on the instruction of Dr Haliru Bello, the Chairman Board of Trustee (BOT), who is also the Chairman of the committee, hereby affirm that at no time were these two great party men asked out of the meeting.
“The committee met with the governor and State Exco on one hand, the former President Dr Goodluck Jonathan and the aggrieved party members on the other hand separately.”
It stated that the committee had a very good outing which resulted in the recall of the suspended and expelled party members in Bayelsa.
“The recalled members were pleased to return to the party.”
“The party wishes to state that this misinformation is the hand work of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as they are afraid of the outcome of the reconciliation in the party.
“We, therefore, urge the PDP Bayelsa, to discountenance these mischief makers, bind and bond properly as we move to retain Bayelsa in the forthcoming gubernatorial election.”
