Saraki, who disclosed this in a tweet, on Tuesday wrote: \u201cAs part of our efforts to listen to the concerns of key stakeholders across our great party, this afternoon, the @OfficialPDPNig Reconciliation and Strategy Committee is meeting with our immediate past President, H.E.

However, the former president distanced himself from such claims, stressing that he was still a PDP member.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
