According to Turaki, the dialogue, which began in earnest late Tuesday night, is focused on bridging the gap between the various aggrieved blocs that have fractured the party’s leadership.
Turaki emphasized that the current efforts are distinct from previous attempts because of the deliberate exclusion of “spoilers”, individuals within the party perceived to be profiting from the ongoing chaos.
“From last night till this morning, both sides are making some progress,” Turaki stated, adding that “all hope is not lost” for a unified PDP ahead of future political cycles.
The move comes amid intense pressure from the PDP Governors’ Forum to present a solid front as the 2027 election cycle begins to take shape.
While the specific terms of the reconciliation have not yet been made public, the party leadership has cautioned supporters and party faithful to exercise restraint.
Turaki warned that inflammatory comments or actions by supporters could easily undermine the delicate progress being made behind closed doors.
As the NWC continues these strategic sessions, political observers are closely watching to see if this latest initiative can finally resolve the deep-seated divisions that have recently seen the party split into factions, including those backed by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
