Don’t go to Supreme Court, Makarfi group urged

Published by

AS the stakeholders in the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) converge in Abuja today to deliberate on the outcome of the last Friday’s Appeal Court judgment in Port Harcourt, that reinstated Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as the National Chairman of the party, two of his national officers have pleaded with the aggrieved party leaders not to drag the matter to the Supreme Court.

The duos are the National Secretary of the group, Professor Adewale Oladipo and National Youth Leader, Honourable Demis Alonge-Niyi.

Speaking with newsmen at separate interviews in Abuja, on Sunday, they said that dragging the leadership tussle to the apex court again would lengthen the vagaries of the leadership issues in the party rather than providing lasting solutions which was the expectation of all well-meaning Nigerians.

According to Oladipo,: “I think the time has come for our members to put this leadership tussle behind us and move forward in the overall interest of our party.

“2019 is around the corner, time is not on our side. We need to put the matter behind us and embrace peace. Don’t forget that in 2018, we have governorship elections in Osun and Anambra states.

“We must work hard to reclaim the presidency, to win more states as well as more seats in both chambers at the National Assembly and states assemblies.”
