Sheriff’s Camp appeals to members to refrain from Legal action

The Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) members loyal to Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has appealed to mem­bers and supporters to remain calm and refrain from further legal action of any sort.

The members also said that they remain loyal and com­mitted to the ideals and goals of the party.

In a statement by Sheriff Spokesman, Bernard Mikko, the members said, "We hope the current spate of threats and outright acts of intimida­tion will cease so that millions of our party members would not start seeking alternate platforms to secure their po­litical future.

"While remaining loyal and committed to the ideals and goals of the PDP, we also owe it a duty to preserve our per­sonal honour and protect the political interest of millions of PDP members nationwide who are looking up to us for leadership. We appeal to our loyal members and support­ers to remain calm and refrain from further legal action of any sort.

"We therefore appeal to true lovers of democracy, the civil society and media to join hands with us to ensure that all forms of impunity lawlessness and blind ambition are con­trolled and dispended with.

"Nigeria is a constitutional democracy and acts that are capable of destroying our multi-party system must be avoided. As major stakehold­ers in the current political dis­pensation, we will not remain silent and docile while the democratic norms and values we cherish are being system­atically destroyed."

They lamented that where­as majority of party mem­ber and loyalists continue to dream, desire and pray for a united party devoid of divisive tendencies with the hope of quickly recovering the lost grounds.
