The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos has hailed the judgment of the Federal High Court, which recognized the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led caretaker committee.
Its Publicity Secretary, Taofiq Gani, in a statement also commended what it called the reconciliatory spirit of Senator Makarfi who has extended olive branch to Sheriff.
Urging Sheriff to shelve his plan of of appealing the judgement, Lagos PDP advised him to rather put his energy into future elections campaign to ensure the party's victory.
The statement further reads: "This statesman-like spirit should now manifest in the immediate commencement of invitation and reconciliation of protesting members, especially in the Senator Ali Modu Sheriff's camp.
"Hopefully this will be done in earnest and successfully lead us to membership drive of new more members as we approach 2019.
"For Senator Sheriff to reunite with the party at this time will be well timed and indeed end the unwarranted distractions towards the Edo governorship contest in particular.
"He should now take the positive decision to allow peace in the party. Indeed, there is still room for meaningful reconciliation.
"We admonish him to be wary of sycophants and political failures who surround him only for their selfish and momentary gains.
"He should reach out to the caretaker committee and contribute his quota to the developmental programmes of the party. This way, posterity would be kind on him".
