The Ali Modu-Sheriff Faction of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Friday evening, said that it would be difficult for the party to defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2019, unless the aggrieved members give peace a chance.
This disclosure was made when the embattled Factional National Chairman, Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff, met with former Chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Tony Anenih, at his Abuja residence.
Speaking with Newsmen at the end of the meeting which lasted for about an hour, Sheriff said he consulted the elder statesman, to seek his advice on the current logjam in the party.
“PDP that we are enjoying today, there are founding fathers. So as a father I came to talk to him. He is one of the fathers of the PDP; he is one of the people who formed this party. I came to seek his advice on how we can return to our position of 1999,” he said.
Chief Anenih on his part, declined to reveal to Journalists his advice to Sheriff.
“I can’t tell you my advice to my son,” Anenih said.
Similarly, Sheriff’s Deputy, Dr Cairo Ojougboh, said: “We are re-positioning the party and for that reason, we are consulting widely. Some even said for peace to reign, I should step down as Deputy Chairman.
“I am ready to make sacrifices for the party to move forward, because we have done what we want, which is bringing the party back to life; taking the party to the grassroots.
“I have the passion to work for the party. I can write and resign if they want, for our party to grow. I am ready to make sacrifices,” he said.
On why Sheriff’s supporters broke into the Secretariat on Thursday, Ojougboh said: “It is the Police that sealed the office; it was the Police that opened the office based on the court order. The Chairman didn’t break into the Secretariat.
“I appeal in the name of God, that please, anybody who is offended should give peace a chance. If you go into another party, you have broken the PDP into two, and there is no way we can win the APC in 2019. What God has ordained, He has ordained.”
