Mr. Sheriff said the leadership crisis would soon be resolved, adding that some leaders of the party had met to put forward the best way to end the ongoing leadership feud.
Ali Modu Sheriff, the embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Sunday disclosed that efforts were still ongoing in the “reconciliation process” to end the leadership struggle that is rocking the party.
Mr. Sheriff said the leadership crisis would soon be resolved, adding that some leaders of the party had met to put forward the best way to end the ongoing leadership feud.
He spoke briefly with party stalwarts shortly after he stormed Akure, the Ondo State capital, for the flag-off campaign rally of Jimoh Ibrahim, the substituted governorship candidate of the PDP in the State.
A SaharaReporters correspondent reported that some bigwigs of the PDP in Abuja accompanied Mr. Sheriff ahead of the campaign rally.
Mr. Sheriff stated that he was in Ondo State to campaign for Mr. Ibrahim as the authentic governorship candidate of the party for the November 26, 2016 governorship election in the State.
The embattled National Chairman of the crisis-ridden PDP expressed optimism that Mr. Ibrahim would win convincingly the forthcoming gubernatorial poll and become the next governor of Ondo State.
Mr. Ibrahim, who spoke on his preparedness for the governorship election, passed a vote of no confidence on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Ondo State.
He stated that the Commission’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in the State, Mr. Segun Agbaje, should be prohibited from conducting the November election.
Mr. Ibrahim further alleged that Mr. Agbaje has been compromised by the other faction of the party in the State.
