The embattled Factional National Chairman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff, has said that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress, APC, would campaign for him, come 2019.
While disclosing that the APC is campaigning for the PDP, Sheriff stated that the PDP would come back to its position of 1999, as he is ready to make sacrifices to ensure that peace returned to the party.
Recall, that Sheriff was declared last Friday, as the party’s authentic Chairman, by the Port Harcourt Court division of the Appeal Court.
Speaking to Newsmen on Saturday, in Abuja, he maintained that the judgement does not call for merriment or mourning, but required all hands “to rekindle the winning fire in the PDP.”
“Let us be certain about this, no person or group, no matter how powerful, can do it alone. We need all hands on deck to rekindle the winning fire in PDP. Divided, we can achieve little or nothing, but united, we can stand like the impregnable Glam Rock, and no weapon fashioned against us can prevail.
“I see a very great future for our great party, PDP. Our people are already looking forward to the return of the glorious days of a PDP government, when the net worth of life was worthy of human dignity.
“We cannot afford to disappoint the teeming majority of Nigerians who are looking up to, as at this despondent hour of our politics and economy. How can we meet their expectations, if we remain fragmented and disunited? We must therefore, rise to the occasion and come together as one strong united family”, Sheriff said.
He added: “I see the judgement as a golden opportunity for a sincere renewal of our sense of unity and fraternity. No doubt, we have come a long and tortuous road, wherein some of us have been bruised or out-rightly wounded, and are hurting. I understand also, that for some of us, our ego has been agitated.
“Yet, I dare say that we can put all of that behind us, and come together with one accord, and move our great party, the PDP, forward.
“It is not about me or any ambition; it is about the survival of our great party on this score. I can assure you that I shall be willing to make any sacrifice that can guarantee peace in our party.”
