The PDP has been suffering a leadership crisis since May 2016 when attempts to remove Ali Modu Sheriff from the position of chairman failed.

“Not only shall we rise and run, we shall rise and fly. We are doing everything possible. Even if you are victorious in court, you still need to come home and do reconciliation. So, it is better if we can achieve that before instead of leaving it to litigation to settle down," he said.

“We are not representing ourselves. Whatever the party wants, we will do. We don’t have personal interest in this matter. We listen to the opinions of the overwhelming members of the PDP.

“Reconciliation is something you talk less about. Because certain action being taken if you talk about, it you will indirectly be undermining the process. We are open to the reconciliation.

“There must be flexibility when you are talking of reconciliation. And of course the overwhelming views of majority of the members, even whoever you may classify as minority cannot also be ignored, you must make concession here and there and I believe that the party is ready to do that. But that will be the basis of rational and reasonable demands,” he added.
