According to the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, the storm is finally over.

Hopefully!

Even though the Lagos PDP Chairman, Tunji Shelle, is still in his own storm, after being sacked- the party says there is now harmony under the umbrella.

After the bickering between party leaders and governors as well as the public washing of dirty linen, PDP’s mouthpiece, Olisa Metuh, says it is all finally well.

“The leadership of the PDP regrets any embarrassment the avoidable skirmishes may have caused the members of our great party, especially our founding fathers and teeming supporters across the country.

“We are aware that this unfortunate development is a consequence of post election trauma arising from our first ever defeat. We however note with relief that we have now overcome this challenge.

“The National Working Committee assures that in the new spirit of harmony in the PDP family, the reengineering process which began on Tuesday with the inauguration of the Post Election Review Committee will be vigorously sustained to restore the lost glory of our great party.

Again, hopefully.

Metuh also warned party members against talking too much while in the full glare of the public.

He blamed the media for provoking the loud-mouthed PDP leaders and members into opening their mouths.

Social media wasn’t spared, as Metuh said it has become a platform for “distortion of facts, false allegations and fabrications against (their) party.”

“We therefore urge all our members to ensure that they henceforth guard their utterances and actions no matter the provocation and distortions in some section of the media while channeling their energies and ideas towards the rebuilding process.

“In this regard, all members who have reports, grievances and suggestions on the way forward should transmit same to the Post-Election Review Committee for an all inclusive roadmap in the overall effort to regain power in 2019.

“Our members should be wary of the activities of some mischievous persons within and outside the PDP family who are bent on frustrating this peace effort. Such individuals and groups have found the social media a veritable tool for their mischief through distortion of facts, false allegations and fabrications against our party.”
