First the Edo primaries and all the processes leading to it were properly conducted , monitored and observed by INEC. Edo PDP chairman has warned Sheriff to stay clear of their affairs. The Party in the state is resolutely united behind Ize Iyamu the candidate. Anyone who serves in any committee set up by Sheriff will be engaging in anti party activity and will face disciplinary action” he said.

He enjoined all members of the party to disregard Sheriff’s claim that the courts had reaffirm his leadership of the party. “As Sheriff did not display any Court order before the gentlemen of the press please disregard his claims and take it as one of fraudulent antics. Whatever he said today is the rantings of a sinking man trying to hold on to the last straw” he said.
