According to him, “Our National Chairman, Alhaji Baraje, and most of our other key members, including most of the G7 Governors and the five other Governors that have indicated interest to join us by next week, as well as members of the National Assembly, former Governors, and business moguls, are billed to perform the Hajj, which is already in operation”
“Alhaji Baraje, the Progressive Governors and other stakeholders performing the Hajj have been mandated to use the opportunity offered by the Holy Pilgrimage to pray for the restoration of peace and unity in our great party, PDP, as well as in our dear country, Nigeria” Eze said .
Also the statement said its “NWC billed for October 5th is hereby called off until our National Chairman comes back from the Hajj.”
“We sincerely regret the inconvenience(s) in any form this may cause our beloved President, party faithfuls and Nigerians’ as praying to our God should be the utmost part of us, particularly now; knowing very well that with God the elusive peace in our party and country can be achieved” the statement said.
