Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam, on Thursday said ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has been drafted to resolve the crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.<\/p>\n

Suswam said the crisis within the PDP was a \u201cfamily affair,\u201d hence Jonathan has been drafted to resolve the issues.<\/p>\n

He spoke on Arise TV, disclosing moves to reconcile aggrieved PDP members ahead of the 2023 presidential election.<\/p>\n

The former governor expressed hope that the party\u2019s crisis would be resolved before the presidential election in February.<\/p>\n

According to Suswam: \u201cJonathan has been dragged into the issue to resolve the matter. Solving this problem between the G-5 governors is what we should be looking at. When Wike inaugurated the election council in Rivers State, all the governors were there; they were also there when Ortom inaugurated the same in Benue State; this shows that they still love the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cPDP has the capacity and internal mechanisms to resolve the party; this is why we are bringing in Jonathan to help resolve the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cJonathan has been dragged into the issue to resolve the matter. Solving this problem is what we should be looking at. They still love their party at heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cWike had said he is open to reconciliation, Ortom said some of his comments were misinterpreted.\u201d<\/p>\n

The G-5 governors led by Wike have been aggrieved with the leadership of PDP following the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the party\u2019s presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

They are agitating for balance and equity within the leadership of the party.<\/p>\n

The Wike-led group said PDP\u2019s National Chairman and presidential candidate can\u2019t come from the same region.<\/p>\n
