He said the Caucus called on all feuding parties to embrace peace in the interest of their individual ambitions.

“After surveying recent happenings in the recently within the party, we have resolved as the Senate Caucus of the PDP to set up an extended Caucus of the party involving some former governors, leaders of the Senate Caucus and some leaders of the party.

“This is to enable us to interface with the various organs of the party with a view to resolving all matters that affect sustainability, survival and existence of the party.

“PDP Senate Caucus resolved to undertake every effort that is necessary to ensure the survival of the PDP. Consequently, the Caucus resolved to advise all party members that have cases in the court to withdraw such cases.

“This is to make room for a more robust political resolution of the crises in the party, especially the desire to return to constitutional order for the party.

“The PDP remains the only formidable opposition in this country. We must be ready as a party to provide an alternative platform to Nigerians for good governance.

“In the strict sense of it, the party is not factionalised, there are only contending tendencies within the party. 

“This is what we want to bring together because we cannot afford to be drifting apart in this trying moment for Nigerian nation.”
