Speaking to newsmen after the BoT meeting, former President of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki said, “we agreed to set up this committee urgently and within the next 48 hours, they will meet and at the end of that meeting, the country will see where the direction the party is going. The commitment of everybody to attend that meeting and subject themselves to the decision of that meeting shows the interest of everybody.”

His predecessor as Senate President, Senator David Mark spoke in the same vein on the decision of the PDP BoT on the Secondus crisis, saying:

“The committee is made up of the governors, members of the BoT, members of the National Assembly, all the members of the National Working Committee, former governors, former ministers, so that they can holistically resolve the problems.

He assured that irrespective of the issues that the initiative will lead to a stronger PDP irrespective on the conseuqence on Secondus, saying “it will lead into providing a better environment to make us far more united and stronger as a party.

Mark also confirmed that Wike was a statutory member of the BoT.
