The National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, had said it would reposition the party for future elections through a national conference where issues bordering on how to reshape PDP would be discussed.
According to him, a lot of corrections needed to be made due to what he described as the many mistakes of the past.
He added that it was only the PDP members that could contribute to efforts to correct the mistakes of the past.
Metuh was reacting to the crisis generated as a result of the claim by the National Working Committee of PDP that it had shifted the proposed national conference of the party scheduled for October.
The proposed conference was being put together by some members of the BoT of the party, who were backed by both the board and the national caucus of the party.
But because of the alleged fear being nursed by the NWC members that the conference would be used against them, they said the conference must not hold until December.
Metuh, however, said the NWC members were not against the proposed conference, but insisted that all stakeholders of the party would be involved in the conference.
Metuh said, “The NWC, the BoT and even the PDP Governors’ Forum are on the same page on this. We want the national conference and it must hold because we need to know what to do to rebuild the party. If the party had done well, we wouldn’t have lost election and we need this conference to fashion out ways to rebuild it.
“A lot of corrections need to be made due to many mistakes of the past. And it is only party members that will contribute to ensure that that happens. So we need that conference.
