The chairman, Transition Committee, Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, has set out to reconcile all aggrieved members of the party ahead of 2015.

Political Platform reliably gathered that the High Commissioner of Ghana is interested in unifying the party ahead of its congress.

According to a source within the party, the Lagos PDP is going for the congress as a divided and crisis ridden party. We need to settle some quarrels arising from how the party has been run in the last four years.
