Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) inaugurates reconciliation committees as the party prepares for the 2027 general elections. According to reports from multiple outlets, the national chairman, Moses Cleopas, presides over the inauguration and charges the committee to work with fairness, impartiality, and integrity. Professor Pat Utomi is named as chairman of the reconciliation committee, while Buba Galadima is named co-chairman. The committee’s stated purpose is to bring together aggrieved party members and promote internal unity ahead of the elections. In one account, Utomi publicly reflects on his relationship with Galadima, recalling a long-standing rivalry that dates back decades, as part of his remarks during the committee’s launch. The outlets report that the panel is meant to help reconcile differences within the party rather than compete for leadership roles, and that it is expected to carry out its mandate through dialogue and engagement with members who feel left out or aggrieved. No outlet provides specific timelines or membership lists beyond the leadership roles announced for the committee.
