| Modu-Sheriff |
After the initial shock from the verdict of the Supreme Court that sacked him as national chairman of opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), embattled Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff congratulated Senator Ahmed Makarfi indicating that he has finally surrendered his struggle for the leadership of the party.
In Modu-Sheriff’s reaction Thursday, 24 hours after he said he was still in shock over the Supreme Court judgment that nullified his chairmanship, he congratulated the lawfully recognised chairman of the National Caretaker Committee of the party, Senator Makarfi, for his victory.
Modu-Sheriff’s surrender came even as the PDP has slated October to hold its national convention for the election of new executives.
Makarfi in his reaction said the party would leave its doors open to all aggrieved members, including Modu-Sheriff and his group, for reconciliation.
In a short statement posted on Modu-Sheriff’s Twitter handle, the former Borno State governor said: “The Supreme Court has spoken. I congratulate Senator Makarfi. We must all put our hands together to channel a new course for the PDP.
“Moving forward, we must embrace true reconciliation, so as to be united as a formidable option to send the APC packing in 2019. This is the time to build the PDP and to focus on the future, which includes reclaiming power from the APC.”
