Leader of the new Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) which fused with the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kawu Baraje, has stated that the group will remain in the ruling party.
He made this known on Monday while speaking with newsmen after a closed door meeting with the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).
Baraje and the group recently submitted a four-page letter of grievances to the APC leadership and gave it seven days to address the issues.
Baraje told newsmen that the group had begun sorting out its grievances with APC leadership.
He explained that the leadership got across to the group last week, asking for a meeting which could not hold because of some logistics.
Baraje said :”We couldn’t come until today; we begged the party to shift the day till today and today we have seen our party.
“We are party members, this office is ours; we have only come home to discuss those observations; the meeting was very beautiful.”
He, however, stated that discussion of the issues would continue, explaining that “when talks begin, you can’t say it will end on a particular day, it goes on and on.
“It may please the party to say let’s shift the meeting to another venue to discuss with other stakeholders; so far, we have started talks.
“But, it is a good start, it is a good beginning,” he stressed.
