Leaders Urge Members to Close Ranks Ahead of Future Political Engagements 
The National Democratic Coalition (NDC) has inaugurated a reconciliation committee aimed at resolving internal disagreements and strengthening unity within the party, as prominent political figures Prof. Pat Utomi and Buba Galadima called on members to put aside their differences and work towards a common goal.
The move comes amid ongoing efforts by the party to consolidate its structures and present a united front ahead of future political activities.
Reconciliation Committee Unveiled
At the inauguration ceremony, party leaders said the committee had been tasked with engaging aggrieved members, resolving disputes and promoting internal cohesion.
According to the party's leadership, the reconciliation initiative is designed to reinforce democratic values within the NDC and ensure that differing opinions are managed through dialogue rather than division.
Officials expressed confidence that the panel would help rebuild trust among members while strengthening the party's organisational capacity.
Utomi Calls for Shared Vision
Political economist and NDC chieftain Prof. Pat Utomi urged members to focus on the broader national interest rather than personal ambitions.
He said political parties can only remain effective when members demonstrate discipline, mutual respect and commitment to shared principles.
Utomi stressed that unity would enable the party to contribute meaningfully to national conversations on governance, economic reform and democratic development.
Galadima Appeals for Reconciliation
Veteran politician Buba Galadima echoed similar sentiments, encouraging members to embrace reconciliation and avoid actions capable of weakening the party.
He noted that internal disagreements are common in democratic organisations but should always be resolved through constructive engagement.
Galadima urged members to support the reconciliation committee and prioritise the long-term stability of the party.
Strengthening Internal Democracy
Party officials described the inauguration of the reconciliation panel as part of wider reforms intended to strengthen internal democracy and improve communication across all levels of the organisation.
The leadership also reaffirmed its commitment to transparent decision-making and inclusive participation by members in party affairs.
Looking Ahead
The reconciliation committee is expected to begin consultations with stakeholders across the country in the coming weeks.
Political observers say the initiative could help reinforce the NDC's internal stability and improve its readiness for future political engagements if successfully implemented.
With respected figures such as Pat Utomi and Buba Galadima publicly advocating unity, party leaders hope the reconciliation process will lay the foundation for stronger collaboration and renewed confidence among members.
