The Peoples Democratic Party has appointed former Osun State governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, as the chairman of the 25-member National Reconciliation Committee.
Former Gombe State governor, Senator Ibrahim Dankwambo, has been appointed as the secretary of the committee.
The PDP has been grappling with internal discord since last year’s general elections, where they were defeated by the ruling All Progressives Congress.
In a statement issued on Friday by National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP announced that the inauguration of the newly formed reconciliation committee will take place at a later date.
