A committee has been set up and very soon that will also start.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll begin with preparation for congresses that will happen in March.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also regretted the exit of the former leader of the party and former presidential candidate of the party. While we regret the exit, we wish him well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve also decided that the party should come together and become a stronger force. We\u2019ve also lost a few members to defection, even some members of the National Assembly. But despite all that, this party remains strong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also decided that we need to set up a reconciliation committee. But the interim NWC will advise us on when to set up that committee. The whole idea is to reconcile every one who is waiting and desires to come back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also appeal to Julius Abule and his team to sheath their swords and come back to the party. If they\u2019re able to subject to the rules of the party, we will be happy to see them back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also want to tell those who want to join the party that our doors are open to receive them. Finally we regret that we\u2019ll not be able to participate as a party in the forthcoming FCT council elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Abia State governor, however, assured Nigerians that the party can only grow stronger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
