“By the grace of God the congreses would be a family affair because we have all realised that we need to work together.
“We will remain united and regain power in the state come 2023,” Ubandoma said.
Mrs Sarah Ochekpe, former Minister of Water Resources, said that the party was grateful to the national leadership of PDP for setting up the caretaker committee.
Ochekpe said that Sen. Ogbeha’s committee did a good job, adding that forgiveness was offered and received during the meeting and the party was starting on a new footing.
Elder Bagudu Hirse, another former minister, said that whoever thought that PDP would not resolve its differences would be disappointed.
