Vanguard reports that the factional leaders of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), led by Senator Ali Modu Sheriff and Senator Ahmed Makarfi may have resolved to finally set aside their grievances and give peace a chance.

Report says the warring parties have commenced negotiations on how to move forward.

This was made known to newsmen in Abuja by the immediate past national vice chairman of the PDP for South-South, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh.
He said the Sheriff faction has made its terms for truce known to the Makarfi group through an ‘intermediary.’

He, however, did not disclose the conditions outlined by Sheriff’s camp for peace to reign in the party.

Ojougboh, who was appointed by Senator Sheriff as deputy chairman, insists that Sheriff remains the authentic chairman of the PDP until a properly constituted convention of the party says otherwise.

He noted that Sheriff's insistence to remain as the party's chairman is not borne out of desperation for power, but to put an end to the reign of impunity in the party and returning power to the people it rightly belongs to.

According to him, PDP governors manipulated the recently conducted party congresses in their states, adding that Sheriff has resolved to revisit the congresses nationwide to ensure that the party returns to the grassroots people and not the governors.
