Mr. Cairo Ojougboh, the deputy national chairman of the Ali Sheriff-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has announced that his faction is ready to make peace with the Ahmed Makarfi faction.
Speaking with newsmen on Friday in Abuja, Ojuogboh said Ali Modu Sheriff is ready to end the crisis on the condition that he hold a fresh national convention and handover the party’s leadership to a democratically-elected national chairman.
“Ali Modu Sheriff is ready to step down but he does not want to be disgraced,” 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,” he said.
