The Board of Trustees, BOT, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has settled the misunderstanding between members of the party in Kaduna State ahead of the 2015 general elections.

Speaking at a meeting with key stakeholders of the party at Government House, the Chairman of the BOT, Chief Tony Anenih said, “we have visited many states for the zonal rallies singing one song of unity, understanding and performance. By the grace of God we are happy that this is the first time the party is having a sole candidate for the presidential race. This is because of the understanding of you people here and your colleagues in other states.

“We have come to Kaduna State to make peace among ourselves to be able to accommodate even those that are sitting on the fence, so that at the end of the day, our load will be very light. Even when you are chewing your tongue, the teeth and tongue remain together.”

Anenih called on members of the party to unite in support of Governor Mukhtar Yero, who he described as a ‘’performing Governor,’’ adding that “I want to appeal to you that he needs to succeed, he is a young man and the sky is his limit; but he needs a solid foundation built on unity, hard work and loyalty.

“I am very pleased with what I saw on arrival this morning and also from the conduct of the meeting. I am satisfied that all is well in Kaduna State as I return to Abuja.”

He then reminded members of the ruling party of the significance of Kaduna State to Nigeria saying “during the Centenary celebration, a president from an African country said when Nigeria sneezes, the rest of Africa catches cold. When Kaduna sneezes; Nigeria catches cold, that is the importance of your state to Nigeria and beyond.”

Speaking after the meeting, Governor Yero said, “this visit will surely help the party achieve success.

“We are known for respect for party leadership as has been shown by all leaders and this is an indication that we shall remain united in facing the next general elections.”

Those present at the meeting included the former Governor Mohammed Makarfi, Senator Nenadi Usman, Speaker of the House of  Assembly, Shehu Usman Tahir, Senator Caleb Zagi, Alhaji Lawal Samaila Abdullahi Yakawada, Bala Sani,  Abokie Galadima, Rep. Yakubu Barde, DG NEMA, Alhaji Sani Sidi, former GMD NNPC, Mr Andrew Yakubu, and Mrs Charity Shekari among others. Anenih was accompanied on the trip by Senator Walid Jibrin, Chief Jim Nwobodo, former Niger State Governor Abdulkadir Kure, Erelu Olusola Obada, Senator Joy Emodi, former Anambra Governor Peter Obi, Chief Mike Ajaegbo and General Abdullahi Bagudu Mamman.
