Former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, on Thursday canvassed compromise between the national leadership of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and the aggrieved G-7 governors as the only solution to the intractable crisis rocking the party.
Kalu called for a common ground on the vexed issues among the feuding parties as one of the ways to resolve the impasse.
He noted that without both parties applying compromise, the polity will he heated unnecessarily, a development, he said is unfavorable for the nation’s democracy.
The former governor spoke to journalists at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.
He said such bickering among governors and the Presidency does not portray the country in good light, adding that some sacrifice here and there among the feuding parties will help to give peace a chance.
He said, “The President and the National Chairman of the PDP should also give in a little bit. They should both find a common ground for the unity of the party and for the unity of Nigerian people.
“Nigerians people need more of democratic dividends than this impasse. This impasse has taken a lot both from the governors and also from the President and from the party at large.”
