urbulent reconciliation process in the crisis-ridden Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday showed signs of resurgence as both factions led by Senator Ali Modu Sheriff and Senator Ahmed Makarfi signed a ceasefire agreement to stop the verbal attacks against each other.
The undertaking came just as the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) warned leaders of the party against selfish ambition which it lamented is threatening to destroy the party.
The two warring parties, which met under the auspices of the reconciliation committee headed by the Bayesla State Governor, Seirake Dickson, also agreed that they would work together with the committee to engender peace and genuine reconciliation in the party.
The agreement to this effect was contained in a communique signed by Hon. Ahmed Gulak and Hon. Bernard Mikko on behalf of the Sheriff-led leadership and Prince Dayo Adeyeye and Hon. Dave Iorhemba on behalf of the Makarfi faction
The Chairman of the reconciliation com, Dickson, and his deputy and former Deputy Senate President Ibrahim Mantu, also signed the agreement.
The communique issued at the end of the meeting by the two factions, stated: "All actors of the party should desist from making derogatory, inflammatory and divisive statements against party officials, stakeholders and members."
It further stated: "That the party should not dissipate its energy among itself but to focus on how to unite and be a formidable opposition capable of taking over power from the failed APC-led government.
"That all key actors in the on-going peace process should henceforth desist from making statements attacking each other and statements insinuating negative acts capable of dragging the party to the mud.
"In conclusion, all key actors in the PDP have agreed to work together with the National Reconciliation Committee led by Governor Dickson to engender peace and genuine reconciliation.
