The Governor reminded members of the State Executive Committee that PDP in Abia State has been the envy of other state chapters, in terms of internal peaceful coexistence and harmony.
The Governor stated that every action has its suitable time and, therefore, cautioned that the time in which we are now demands for unity, mutual understanding and co-operation.
He noted issues raised by both sides but urged all to put the collective interest of the Party first, especially now that the Party is preparing for elections.
At the end of the reconciliation meeting, the Chairman; Sir Onuigbo, the Vice Chairman of the Party in Abia-North, Hon Mathew Ibe, an Ex-Officio Member of the Party, Chief Chijioke Akanwa and the Publicity Secretary of the Party, Sir Don Ubani, thanked the Governor for his prompt intervention and resolution of the matter and assured him that the Party will work harmoniously and dedicatedly to make sure the Governor and all candidates of the Party win their elections next year clearly and convincingly in the State.
