By Eben Enasco Kingsley, Benin City
The
Acting Deputy National Chairman of the People's Democratic Party, Dr. Cairo
Ojugbo has disclosed that agreement has not been reached between Modu Shariff
and Makafi as to whom is the authentic national chairman of the party but
noted that negotiations to finding a lasting solution is still on-going.
The
acting Deputy National Chairman, Dr. Cairo made the disclosures while fielding
questions from newsmen in Benin City yesterday.
Dr.
Cairo who asserted that there is every likelihood that an agreement would be
reached at the end of the negotiation stressing that while the negation
continues, they await a favorable court verdict.
"So
far so good, no agreement has been reached but it looks very likely that we
will have an agreement that I can assure you. Modu Shariff, I have his
permission to say that he has not reached an agreement as at today with anybody
but he is going to address a press conference on
Monday
but we are continuing with our cases in court because we believe that by the
time the judiciary makes its final pronouncement, we will be on the side of the
law and we are very hopeful that we are going to win because we believe in the
rule of law", Dr. Cairo said.
Cairo
noted that the conflicts generated from the chairmanship tussle will further
strengthen the unity of the party pointing that the party will get over it in
no distant time.
He
said PDP as a party is fighting the war of impunity all over the states which
was also the reason it lost Edo State to the All Progressives Congress in
the past election.
"This
issue of impunity we must address it. Exactly what happened while PDP lost Edo
State, these are the issues we are fighting. Naturally, there is no way PDP would
have lost Edo State, it is still impunity that cost it", he said.
He
stressed that they are currently repositioning the party to winning all the
states back in the next election.
