The People’s Democratic Party Governors Forum has expressed confidence in the ability of the new national chairman of the PDP Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to reposition the party and make it more inclusive while warning him to not to be distracted by what they call ‘diversionary attacks’ that will arise following his emergence.
The governors of the PDP in a statement in Abuja said the former Borno governor emerged chairman after a careful selection process.
A statement signed by the coordinator of the forum, Mr. Osaro Onaiwu, said: ‘‘The forum is solidly behind and will deploy its support to ensure that our shared vision for our party is realized as we prepare for 2019.
“It should interest you that the present regime has demonstrated that it is not ready for power, it is therefore an opportunity for your tenure to show that the PDP remains the only truly national party that can redress the fumbling and serial inconclusiveness of several programmes and agendas of the APC.”
The statement further added that, “Sheriff is coming on the job with immense wealth of experience and will no doubt use his vast network to rebuild the party, restore members’ confidence and act as a counterfoil to the many antics of the present APC regime.”
