THE crisis rocking the Borno State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), may have been resolved as the party, on Saturday, held its state congress during which new executive members that would pilot the affairs of the party for the next four years were elected. The congress was held at the state secretariat of the PDP in Gombe, yesterday under a peaceful atmosphere. Chairman of the electoral panel, Alhaji Sabo Garba, while speaking to newsmen, said four state executive members were elected by the delegates from the 27 Local Government Areas of Borno State. While addressing party members, Kabiru Bappah Jauro, the North-East zonal secretary of the PDP, urged all party members to put the past challenges behind them and forge a common front ahead of the 2019 elections. He assured all party members that a reconciliation committee would be set up to put permanent end to the crisis in the state chapter of the party, and promised to bring all the aggrieved party members back into the party.
