Ali Modu Sheriff gave a statement after his victory at the appeal court yesterday about his plans for the PDP.
According to him, he will restructure the PDP in such a way that Wike and Fayose cannot contain because they have brought "shame" to the party.
Read what he said below:
"I will engineer a restructuring of the PDP such that characters like Wike and Fayose cannot find a way through to attain any position of prominence in our party in the future. They have brought shame and agony through the application of their crude and godless politics which is at variance with the principles upon which our founding fathers built our great party. We must find a way to sieve things so that only men of character and integrity can come through for positions of responsibility at all levels of our political engagement in the country.
"We must urgently steer the ship of PDP clear of the path of infamy which Wike and Fayose have brought our party, making Nigerians to mistake PDP as a training ground for thugs. That is the urgent task we have. We cannot continue to advertise thug brand and expect Nigerians to take us seriously".
It would be recalled that Wike and Fayose played a key role in the emergence of Sheriff as PDP chairman before both parties fell out.
