The National
Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), at its
meeting on Wednesday, resolved to write the Enugu State Governor,
Sullivan Chime and members of the State House of Assembly to stop the
ongoing rancour over the dissolution of the executive committee of the
party in the state.

The committee also decided to revisit the conduct of congresses in Imo and Anambra states.

The executive
committee of the party in Enugu State was dissolved two weeks ago
following complaints that trailed the conduct of the congress in the
state and the refusal of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) to recognize it.

Some party
officials in the state, who believed the chairman of the party,
Okwesilieze Nwodo, acted unilaterally, have challenged the dissolution
in court.

The situation
prompted President Goodluck Jonathan to intervene in the crisis by
meeting with three members of the NWC while Mr Nwodo was away on
vacation abroad.

A source in the
meeting presided over by Mr Nwodo on Wednesday said the decision to
dispatch the letter to Enugu followed the chairman’s protest that
members of the NWC took sides while he was away in the United States.

Following the
chairman’s protest, the members took turns to explain their roles in
the Enugu issue. The committee resolved to write Mr Chime and others.

The meeting also reportedly resolved to revisit the congresses held
in Imo and Anambra state with a view to taking care of the contending
forces. It was gathered that though the congresses had been held, the
NWC agreed that there was a need to revisit them and explore the option
of harmonisation among the aggrieved groups in the party.
