A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) opposition Group in Borno state,
under the auspices Concerned PDP Grassroots Stakeholders Congress has
extended an “olive branch” to Sen. Ali Sheriff factional group to join
hands with Markarfi led PDP.

The extension of the olive branch; was to constitute a strong
formidable party in Borno state.

Chairman of the Group, Usman Ibrahim disclosed this on Saturday at a
news conference in  Maiduguri at Borno PDP secretariat complex.

in our party has come to an end with the Supreme Court judgement of
12th July 2017 which declare Senator Ahmed Makarfi as the substantive
national caretaker chairman of our great party.

“I therefore called on Sen. Ali Sheriff faction to join hands with
Makarfi with this olive being extended, so that we will build a strong
PDP not only in this state, but the whole country.”
He said the victory of Sen. Makarfi as chairman of the PDP; is a
victory to democracy and Nigerians in general. HE commended the
judiciary for the positive and right decision.

“It is high time all of us come together under one umbrella to take
the nation and Borno state in particular to the promise land; where
all people will have a sense of belonging come 2019,” said Ibrahim.
At the state level, he said, the party leaders are doing everything
possible to fix the party to its desired position, so that PDP can
take over power come 2019 and called those who left the party due to
impunity to come back so that they will get to the promise land.
