Daily Post reports that Jalo said in Abuja on Monday, May 23 that Sheriff was responsible for the problem in the party due to his ploy to hold on to the chairmanship position so he could later secure the party’s presidential ticket.

He said that if Sheriff continued to lead PDP, the crisis in the party would continue.

He said that the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) during its 71st meeting had agreed that Sheriff’s tenure had expired as he was meant to complete the tenure of Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, which ended in March.

“The convention in Port Harcourt had, seeing the danger ahead, unanimously resolved that we should give way for peace to reign, and the party is more supreme than any individual in the NWC.

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers said he supported Sheriff when he was first made chairman but he had to go for the party to be stable.
