The recently declared National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) , Senator Ali Modu Sherrif, has said that he is not interested in leading the embattled party any longer.
He made this revelation Sunday evening from Abuja at a Channels Television live interview.
Senator Senator Sheriff explained that his next plans are no longer about leading the party but helping to organise convention that will replace him.
“My next step is to move to the party Secretariat. Second is to carry out consultation. Third is to agree on timetable for a quick convention. I am not interested in leading the party any longer. But since the responsibility to lead the party was vested in me, I must do a credible election.”
The national leader who appeared conciliatory in his speech, called on all members of the party to unite and dismissed the insinuation that he was a mole in the PDP.
“I will hold a Congress and step aside for the party” he said.
The Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt ruled that Ali Modu Sherrif is the authentic National chairman of the party, nullifying the Port Harcourt convention which produced Senator Ahmed Makarfi. But the final decision would be taken by the Supreme Court.
