Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chieftain in Delta State, Fred Oghenesivbe has said the sacked National Chairman of the party, Ali Modu Sheriff must work with the party’s new leadership of Ahmed Makarfi to “conduct a peaceful, free and fair congress in the near future.”
Oghenesivbe, who gave the call in a statement he signed, also claimed that some cabals worked hard to destroy the party but failed.
The PDP Chieftain alleged that the cabals worked against the party because they wanted to create a one party system in Nigeria.
He also commended the judiciary for saving democracy from extinction through its verdict which gave Markafi’s Caretaker Committee victory over Sheriff.
He said: “It is a victory well deserved for the entire Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) political family. It is a good development for the consolidation of representative government, sustenance and advancement of constitutional democracy in our country.
“The sound and reassuring verdict of the Supreme Court has restored our hope that the judiciary has truly been rebranded and doing the needful to dispense quality justice without fear or favour.
“It is indeed, heart warming that at last justice prevailed making it possible to pave the way for full reconciliation within the party. The judgment will no doubt further deepen our democracy, promote the principles of equity, good conscience and the rule of law.”
“Some cabals worked so hard to destroy the PDP so as to make Nigeria a one party system and had relied extensively on the judiciary to achieve their crafty and retrogressive objective of weakening the already vibrant democracy in the country. Thanks to my Lords the Justices of the Supreme Court for sustaining their cherished integrity and the uniqueness of the bench.
“Its time to rebuild and rebrand our great party, the PDP. There are no winners and no loosers within the party, which is why all stakeholders must of a necessity forget the past, come back to the conference table to work out solid strategic political modalities on how to effortlessly return PDP to Aso Rock Villa come 2019.
“Our party leaders, especially Senator Modu Sheriff, Cairo Ojougbo, and their group must now work harmoniously with Senator Ahmed Makarfi and the national structure to conduct a peaceful, free and fair congress in the near future.
“I respectfully congratulate all party faithfuls, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, His Excellency Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa the Executive Governor of Delta State, Delta State PDP Chairman, Olorogun Kingsley Esiso and party supporters at home and in Diaspora for the hard earned but sweet victory.
“Let’s now join hands together to reclaim Aso Rock Villa and all PDP fraudulently won states in 2015 via the deceitful CHANGE propaganda of the APC party.”
