PDP CRISIS: Sheriff’s Faction Courts Jonathan

Senator Modu Sherrif's faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said that it had contacted former President Goodluck Jonathan with a view to intervening in the current leadership crisis bedeviling the party, noting that the former leader was disposed to resolving the problem.

Disclosing this in an exclusive chat with Vanguard recently in Abuja, Dr. Cairo Ojugbo, a former South-South Deputy National Chairman of the party, described the ex-President, whose disposition on the issue had been vague, as having the wisdom needed to resolve the festering impasse over the party’s national leadership.

Ojugbo when asked if his faction had met with Jonathan, he said: “Yes, the immediate past President is from my zone, the South-South and he is one of my leaders, I respect him, I love his candor. I love him as a human being and yes I have been in contact with him and he is also equally looking for a balanced position. He is man that every Nigerian loves.”

“What Sheriff has said and he has repeated it before everybody, is let Makarfi and his group step down. I will step down and will join and nominate persons to conduct the convention which is what a gentleman can do. And now he said look anybody who goes to Port Harcourt is on his own because he knows what the Emperor of Ikwere would do,” he added.
