The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s Ali Modu Sheriff’s faction has revealed their demands in order to put a lasting end to the power tussle within the party.
The deputy national chairman of the Ali Modu Sheriff-led faction, Cairo Ojougboh revealed that his boss was ready to step down in order for peace to reign within the party.
Ojuogboh while addressing journalists said: “As far as I am concerned, Ali Modu Sheriff is ready to step down but he does not want to be disgraced.”
He noted that Sheriff is willing to step down and allow for a democratically elected national chairman emerge for the progress of the party. He also added that to avoid disgrace, Sheriff must be given an opportunity to officially hand over to the elected chairman.
He said: “This is what we have told the governors, what is fair is fair.
“Ali Modu Sheriff did not say that he wants to continue to be chairman but what he said, is look, I want to handover to a democratically-elected chairman of the party that is elected by the people and not appointed. As far as the law is concerned, Sheriff is still the PDP Chairman today but he is ready to convene a convention to handover.”
