The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff recently insulted former President Goodluck Jonathan by walking out on him.

However, the senator has explained reasons for his action: “We are here for PDP stakeholders meeting and the PDP has only one national chairman, which is Ali Modu Sheriff. There is no PDP meeting that will take place under whatever arrangement that will not open the session as national chairman.”

“Today, I’m the most senior member of this party. He also said that he would not be party to anything outside the reconciliation report submitted to him by Gov. Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa. I think Gov Dickson made a proposal for reconciliation that we have accepted.”

“Some people want to deviate from this programme, to bring agenda which was not part of it. As national chairman of the party, what I told you in my office when Dickson brought the report is the only thing that we have agreed to at this moment. I will not be party to anybody using me to do another programme. I’m not going to be part of it.”

“As the National Chairman of PDP, I will move on with the programmes initiated by Gov. Dickson. We are continuing with that; anything outside that, I’m not a party to it.”
