Governor Wike Explains Why The Peoples Democratic Party Had To Part Ways With Acting National Chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff

Gov. Nyesom Wike in a statement released by his Special Assistant on Electronic media, Simeon Nwakaudu, stated that the party had to let former Acting National Chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff go because his leadership was destabilising the party.

The statement noted; "All along, the crisis has been about the former  acting chairman whose emergence  was strongly opposed.

Continuing he said; "This is destabilising  the party  and so we had to let him go. What is important  is the  party and not the individual. No sacrifice  is too much  for anyone  to make as far as PDP  is concerned ". He noted that he had no personal  interest in supporting  Senator Modu Sheriff as he was the best option  at the time he emerged.

He said that PDP will  continue  to  grow  from strength to strength as it remains  the only hope for the country.  Governor Wike said: "We will  not allow the PDP  to die or suffer divisions under our watch. History  will never forgive us if we watch the party die." The governor  said  that  the  party leaders would work  towards maintaining  unity amongst all members  of  the  party. 

He noted that, despite the  challenges, the 2016 National Convention was successful  as the party has been  repositioned in the  interest of the nation
