  Saraki Urges PDP to Suspend National Convention, Suggests Caretaker Committee


  Abuja— Former Senate President and prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Bukola Saraki, has reportedly urged the party's leadership to consider suspending its upcoming National Convention. He suggested that a temporary measure, such as the appointment of a Caretaker Committee, would be more prudent given the current internal atmosphere and challenges facing the party.

While Dr. Saraki has recently been involved in efforts to unify the party, particularly as the head of the PDP Reconciliation Committee, his call highlights deepening concerns over the party's readiness to hold a successful and unifying convention. 

🛑 Rationale for Suspension

Sources close to the former Senate President indicate that the recommendation is rooted in the belief that the PDP is not yet sufficiently unified to hold an election that would strengthen, rather than further fracture, the party. Key concerns are said to include:

Lingering Internal Crisis:Despite reconciliation efforts, major internal disagreements and factional tensions persist, which could erupt during a competitive convention.

Preventing Further Defections: Saraki has previously voiced concerns that the party has not seen the worst of defections yet. A contentious convention could trigger a new wave of high-profile departures.

Need for Restructuring:The suggestion for a Caretaker Committee implies a need for a dedicated, non-partisan body to focus solely on stabilizing, rebuilding, and carrying out necessary structural reforms before a full-scale convention is held. 

🧭 Focus on Unity and Rebuilding

Dr. Saraki's position, as a key figure in the reconciliation process, emphasizes the immediate priority of unity. The Caretaker Committee, if adopted, would likely be tasked with: 

Conductingextensive, genuine reconciliation across all layers of the party structure. 

Developing a clear roadmap and strategy for the party's future. 

Ensuring an equitable, transparent process for an eventual, stress-free National Convention. The party's leadership, including the National Working Committee (NWC) and the Governors' Forum, is expected to deliberate on this high-stakes suggestion, which directly impacts the PDP's direction ahead of the next general election cycle.
