The
national caretaker committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has
advised a factional chairman of the party, Ali Modu Sheriff, to tow the
path of dialogue over Edo governorship election.
The chairman of the committee, Ahmed
Makarfi, gave the advice on Monday in Abuja when he received the report
of the PDP Edo governorship primaries.
“Once again, I call upon the former
chairman of PDP, my colleague and friend Sheriff and those associating
with him to follow the path of dialogue.
“They should not to do anything further that will cause PDP harm in Edo state,’’ Mr. Makarfi said.
He said it was important for the party
to work together as INEC had stated that it required 21 days notice to
monitor any primary.
“This means validly and legally, no primary can be conducted apart from the one which we conducted and monitored by INEC.
“If the intention is not to cause the
PDP to fail the election, any talk towards conducting other primaries in
Edo by anybody either within or outside the state is supposed to have
ceased by this time.
“I will continue to plead that what you
cannot achieve through peace or dialogue, you cannot achieve it through
the opposite,’’ he added.
