'Our in-house problems made us lose,' PDP chairman says

The National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff, says the party is putting its house in order to achieve victory in future elections.

He said by the time the party reconciled with its aggrieved members, it would make the desire attainable.

"Winning rerun election at this time in Benue state is very important to us in PDP because we always say that Benue State is for PDP.

"It is our in house problem that created what made us to lose election and we are putting our house in order.

"I have promised to talk with everybody to come back to enable us to rebuild the party so that we can work as a team," Sheriff said.

He commended the leadership and members of the party in Benue over the re-election of Sen. David Mark in the Benue South Senatorial rerun election.

The victory of Mark is a clear demonstration that Benue is for PDP.

He also commended them for not taking the laws into their hands on the ongoing attack in some parts of the state.

He said he would present their matter to the Inspector General of Police and other security agencies for appropriate action.

"As a party, we will be law abiding but our rights should not be taken for granted; for us leaders here, we will follow it up to make sure that none of our members are intimidated for nothing.’’

Earlier, Emmanuel said the delegation was at the party headquarters to brief Sheriff on the state of PDP in Benue state.

Emmanuel stated that the state chapter of the party was doing well as demonstrated by the party’s candidate Sen. Mark’s victory in the Benue South Senatorial rerun elections.
