The Peoples Democratic Party has revealed that it had to sack Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as chairman of the party because his leadership style was affecting the party negatively.
Simeon Nwakaudu who is the special assistant to Governor Nyesom Wike in a statement said the party could not continue to cope with Sheriff.
Sheriff was relieved of his position as acting chairman of the PDP following his last minute cancellation of the party’s national convention in Port Harcourt on Saturday, May 21.
Wike who was the chairman of the national convention planning committee in an interview on Saturday said even the election of Modu as chairman of the party caused problem.
“All along, the crisis has been about the former acting chairman whose emergence was strongly opposed.
“This is destabilising the party and so we had to let him go. What is important is the party and not the individual. No sacrifice is too much for anyone to make as far as PDP is concerned
“We will not allow the PDP to die or suffer divisions under our watch. History will never forgive us if we watch the party die,” Wike said.
