The main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has appointed former Osun State governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, to head a 25-member National Reconciliation Committee.

The PDP has been enmeshed in internal strife since the conduct of its last Presidential primaries won by former Vice president Atiku Abubakar.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike who came second during the primary election has refused the reconciliation covertures of the Presidential candidate whom he eventually worked against in the election.

Since then the party has been polarized into the Atiku and Wike camps with members openly indulging in Anti-party activities without any repercussion from the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
