Also, the leaders of the party in the state will now be mandated to sign a code of conduct, leadership bond and declaration of non-violence as may be prescribed by the party.

The Chairman of the South-West PDP Reconciliation Committee for Ekiti and Oyo States, Alhaji Shuaibu Oyedokun, disclosed this at a press conference in Ibadan on Monday.

He said that the briefing was the outcome of the troubleshooting efforts of the committee in the past three weeks, aimed at charting a peaceful path for the PDP in the state.

Within the period, he said the committee visited the aggrieved parties in their homes; among whom were the governor; and his predecessors, Dr. Omololu Olunloyo, Chief Kolapo Ishola and Ladoja.

The chairman said that the committee also visited Chief Richard Akinjide (SAN), Senator Lekan Balogun, Elder Wole Oyelese, Alhaji Hazeem Gbolarumi, Dr. Dejo Raimi and the Senate Leader, Mr. Teslim Folarin.

After successfully bringing Ladoja and Alao-Akala together, he said that the committee advised them to stop exchanging diatribes in the media in order not to scuttle the fragile peace already achieved.

The chairman was sure that the meeting of the two top politicians would mark a turning point and a positive development in the restoration of peace and harmony to the PDP
