BEVERLY HILLS, March 01, (THEWILL) – The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Ali Modu Sheriff has declared his readiness for a political solution to the leadership crisis rocking the party.
Sheriff’s decision was disclosed in a statement on Wednesday by the Sheriff-backed National Secretary, Prof. Wale Oladipo, in reaction to the decision of key party stakeholders to find a political solution to the crisis rocking the party.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan and governors elected on the platform of the party had, after a meeting Tuesday night, resolved to adopt a political solution to the crisis which was commended by Sheriff.
THEWILL recalls that the party has been engulfed in a supremacy battle between the Sheriff camp and the Ahmed Makarfi’s Caretaker Committee, which has the support of the Governors of the party.
“The NWC notes with satisfaction the stand of the body of PDP Governors on the need to adopt a political solution in bringing lasting peace to the party,” Oladipo’s statement said.
“The NWC restates its readiness to fully participate in the peace process.”
The statement also called on workers at the party secretariat, who have stayed away from their duty posts in solidarity with the Makarfi camp, to resume duties immediately.
