The Presidential Contact Committee of South West Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called for  total restructuring and re-engineering of the party.

The committee, led by former Deputy National Chairman of PDP, Chief Olabode George, consisted of Chief Adeseye Ogunlewe, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, Dr. Olu Alabi, Chief Yinka Omilani, Chief Femi Kila, Chief Bisi Omoyeni, Dr. Saka Balogun, Chief Bode Mustafa, Chief Joju Fadairo, among others.

The committee's resolution was arrived at after a meeting of members which took place in Lagos on Friday, just as the committee commended President Goodluck Jonathan for his  maturity, statesmanship, sacrifice and selfless service which it said had engendered and strengthened the present peace in the nation today.

According to the presidential committee, the PDP needs to be restructured and re-engineered in order to promote a more vibrant and enterprising party structure.

To this end, the committee resolved that President Jonathan should instruct the present party managers to call the National Caucus, the Board of Trustees (BOT) and the National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings so as to allow a thorough re-examination of the current challenges the party was confronting now.

The committee as part of its resolutions further warns on the resort to violence and undemocratic means by a minority clique in Ekiti State, warning that that violence would not augur well for anyone as "no nation goes to a civil war twice without complete disintegration."

The presidential committee, therefore, enjoined all political actors to embrace tolerance and peaceful accommodation of one another, just as it appealed to all PDP members to remain loyal, steadfast and focused as the party was being raised on a new vibrant and promising platform.
