A former presidential candidate, Prof Pat Utomi, on Thursday expressed confidence that the Nigeria Democratic Congress could reunite its aggrieved members ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Utomi spoke in Abuja shortly after the inauguration of the NDC National Reconciliation Committee, set up by the party to reconcile aggrieved aspirants and stakeholders following its nationwide congresses, convention and primaries.
The committee was inaugurated barely 48 hours after the party announced its constitution as part of efforts to address grievances and litigation arising from the recently concluded primaries ahead of the 2027 polls.
Speaking at the inauguration, Utomi, who doubles as the committee chairman, described the assignment as both a privilege and a major responsibility, saying the panel would work towards restoring unity within the party while keeping its focus on Nigeria’s future.
