Loyalists Of Sen.ali Modu Sheriff Begin Mass Defection To APC by Upritman(m): 7:44am On Sep 14, 2017

After the Supreme Court ended the National Chairmanship tenure of Sen.Ali Modu Sheriff of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, there are strong indications that His aggrieved loyalists have perfected plans to defect enmass in phases to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC in their various states.

The series of defections from the Sheriff Camp began in the South-West where members of his excos defected to the opposition, Mega Party of Nigeria (MPN). This earlier defection was blamed on uncouth and inflammatory statements of some loyalists of the Party’s National Chairman, Senator Ahmed Makarfi.

The first of the series of mega defections from the Sheriff Camp this time to the ruling party is set to begin this weekend with the defection of Dr. Cairo Ojougboh. Dr. Ojougboh, who was a former national vice-chairman, South-South of the PDP, has been one of the dependable ally of Sen.Sheriff all through his tenure at the helm of affairs of the PDP, serving as His deputy national chairman.

Vanguard quoted sources close to Sheriff and the APC as blaming the likely defection on the failure of the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led leadership to wave the olive branch after the court victory that delegitimised Sheriff as the party’s national chairman. “They labelled us offenders and can you believe that up till today that neither Makarfi nor any of the NWC members has reached out to us, instead they are debating whether we deserve amnesty or not. “This is not the way to go and we cannot be rendered irrelevant, so we are coming out to show our strength,”. Another source also confirmed that the APC in Delta State would roll out the carpet to welcome Dr Ojougboh and the entire structure of the faction loyal to Sheriff in the state from ward level to members of the state executive council into the APC.

It was further gathered Major APC stakeholders within and outside the state are being invited for the declaration rally to give colour to the event. Meanwhile, Dr Ojougbo’s defection it was learnt would be the first as other senior associates of Sheriff in the PDP would periodically also declare for the APC. “We will leave the party as an empty carcass for them,” the source said.

If these defections turn out to manifest gradually, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP may not be surprised as the party had all through the crises period accused the APC of using its ousted National Chairman to cause the crises that almost killed the party. Spokesperson of the party, Prince Dayo Adeyeye had disclosed thus; “We maintain that Sheriff and His co-travelers are agents of the APC. We insist that they are paid agents of the ruling party to destabilize our great party, the PDP; as it is evident that they are all profiting from the unwarranted conflict”.
