– Dr Ojougboh, a former past national vice chairman of the PDP says the Ali Modu Sheriff’s camp has made its terms for peace known to the Senator Ahmed Makarfi group through an ‘intermediary’
– Ojougboh says that any negotiation for peace must always consider that “Sheriff remains the authentic chairman” until a properly constituted convention of the party says otherwise
If the statement by Dr Cairo Ojougboh, the immediate past national vice chairman of the Party (PDP) for South-South is anything to go by, then an end may be in sight for the lingering crisis in the leadership of the party.
According to Dr Ojougboh, the Ali Modu Sheriff’s camp has made its terms for peace known to the Senator Ahmed Makarfi group through an ‘intermediary’, The Vanguard reports.
Ojougboh disclosed this at a press conference on Thursday, July 7.
However, Ojougboh who was appointed by Senator Sheriff as deputy chairman insisted that any negotiation for peace must always consider that “Sheriff remains the authentic chairman” until a properly constituted convention of the party says otherwise.
He also declined to give other conditions outlined by Sheriff’s camp for peace to reign in the PDP, noting that “the conditions for truce are being worked out.”
According to Ojougboh, “the contest is not about sheriff remaining as chairman of the party by all means but stopping the reign of impunity in the party and returning power to the people where it rightly belongs.”
Sheriff has maintained that he remains the party national chairman, adding that the National Caretaker Committee headed by former governor of Kaduna state, Ahmed Makarfi, put in place by the national convention is illegal.
While Makarfi has the backing of PDP governors, Board of Trustees (BoT), National Assembly caucus, the state chairmen and stakeholders of PDP, Sheriff is enjoying the support of some lawmakers, some former governors, some sacked National Working Committee (NWC), members and also some stakeholders of the party.
