PDP crisis: We will work with Sheriff – Ben Bruce

The Senator representing the Bayelsa East constituency has thrown his weight behind the Friday’s Appeal Court judgment, which upheld Ali Modu Sheriff as the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Bruce, a chieftain of the party said he was tired of the lingering crisis rocking the party, adding that he was ready to work with the Sheriff-led caretaker committee.

In a statement issued on Saturday and forwarded to DAILY POST, the senator called on his party men to support Sheriff for the success of the party.
He said, “Concerning the PDP, the current bickering is childish and irrelevant. I am not in support of anymore litigation.
“We will work with Ali Modu Sheriff and go to a convention. Right now, PDP is on a course towards destruction and abiding by the judgment of the court is the only thing that can save us.
“In the first place, it is never the job of the judiciary to choose the leader of a party. I, therefore, call for an end to the fighting. And I am supporting Ali Modu Sheriff because it is the only way to preserve the party. Right now, what Nigeria has is a one-party state – there is no opposition.

“Enough is enough. This is the time for PDP to unite, we are a formidable force!”
