There seems to be no let-up in the leadership crisis rocking the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as the combatants continue to dig deeper into the trenches.

The party’s embattled National Chairman; Alhaji Ali Modu Sheriff Friday accused the Chairman of the PDP caretaker committee, Senator Ahmed Makarfi and Secretary of the committee, Senator Ben Obi of working for a prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking at a media briefing in Abuja, Sheriff said the unnamed APC chieftain has been sponsoring Makarfi and Obi have been paying secret visits to the said APC chieftain.

Makarfi and his committee have continued to insist that Sheriff was being sponsored by the APC for the purpose of destroying the PDP.

But Sheriff retorted, “If there are people in the PDP working for the APC, it’s Makarfi and Obi. Makarfi should not force me to reveal details that I should not reveal under normal circumstances.

“Makarfi and Obi have gone to visit this APC chieftain in his house twice and this particular individual is still in the APC. It would have been better if the man had left the APC to join the PDP.

“They are reserving the 2019 presidential ticket of the PDP for this individual who has been funding their activities. If Makarfi continues to attack my person, I will be forced to reveal further details of their alliance.

“Everybody in Nigeria knows this particular APC chieftain who wants to contest for president in 2019 on the platform of the PDP. So Makarfi should just shut up”.

Sheriff had, earlier in the day, received a delegation of PDP chieftains from Plateau state who came to declare support for his leadership.

The leader of the delegation, Dr. Haruna Dabin said the delegation decided to support Sheriff because he is the only one that can stop the culture of impunity in the PDP.

Dabin said, “We have decided to stand with Sheriff on the path of truth and the rule of law. We are confident in his ability to heal the wounds in our party”

The Plateau PDP chief said his group was short-hanged during the last congress held in the state, adding that winners in the congress were handpicked and imposed on the chapter.

Responding, Sheriff assured them that the congress in Plateau would be revisited, with the view to correcting the mistakes of the past.

“You cannot put nothing on nothing, so I will never associate myself with what is not right. I will make sure that PDP lives up to its name. So I will work hard to ensure that the right people are elected in Plateau and other states through fresh congresses.”

Who can this APC chieftain be?

We all know that Atiku is the brain behind the scene and Chief Ben Obi is his "mannest" man till tomorrow.

That notwithstanding, it will be easier for Satan to regain his role in heaven than for Atiku to be Nigeria's President.

Sheriff is in deep trouble as INEC has recognized Makarafi's group and that makes them the authentic group of the PDP. I wonder what becomes of SAS in this equation.

We are watching them with a kin interest.

Sheriff needs to stop clutching at straws. INEC's presence at the Edo state primary election conducted by the Makarfi faction should have rung the end of crisis bell to him. He needs to throw in the towel and give up the fight before he is forced to do so with his tail between his legs.

INEC won't want to put itself in a quandary. They would rather stay away from both primaries than give credibility to both elections. Nothing is absolute though. Sheriff remains as obstinate as a goat and has the capacity to do the unusual.

Which candidates bought forms from his faction, none, Edo PDP does not recognise SAS, the candidates doesn't recognise him so how does he intend to configure primaries.

APC no get una time. Better resign honorably before u destroy pdp finally. If PDP continues with SAS, 2019 campaign will focus solely on the creation and sponsoring of bh. Which we know was done by SAS

My brother, I'm not a fan of Atiku, never was, never will be, but in politics I've come to understand that any damn thing is possible. If history has taught us anything, than that is it.

Na them go solve Nigeria problem?

Drama in Manila

ok

PDP should better get their acts together before the ruling party makes them perpetual opposition.

For a party that is serious to get back to power, this only makes mockery of their resolve to challenge the status quo. I hope they see their undoings before it gets to late. 2019 is just around the corner.

This people should go to bed. We are getting bored of their stories.

PDP is about to crash down

No sanity again in Nigeria politics, all these people parading themselves as leaders in one way or the other are just fugitives and wanderers. They are there just to deceive the gullible. If u think PDP is still alive and running, u are deceiving urself. Go to osun state and see things, then u will know that things are getting out of hands in PDP.

Kikikikikikiki
Who cares? Just kill the party and be done with. Useless people.

Atiku wants to be the president of Nigeria by any means.
People can be power drunk.

Really
Sheriff, please tell us another story or do you think we are fools like the almajiris that you refused to send to school?

if anything is indeed possible in politics, Babangida would hav staged a comeback into politics successfully in 2007 or so, but he met a brick wall with massive rejection from all sides, he had 2 withdraw in2 his shell cos he was no longer sellable .

Ben Obi ran as Atiku's vice presidential Candidate during Obasanjo's time. This thing is beginning to have meaning.
