Ahead of next year general election, politicians are putting machineries in motion to loot your vote. They will employ any gambit to attract electorates sympathy including hypocrisy. Wailers of yesteryears are now in Aso Rock, those using federal power protection to oppress their opponents in 2015 are now afraid of their shadow, those that have destroyed our democracy in the past are now casting aspersions on the present administration.


This is the fate of Nigerian electorates, politicians and those fronting for different candidates are shedding crocodile tears to loot their votes.

Someone base in Lagos hailing Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as an epitome of democracy and Oracle of Lagos politics but he is instigating kwarans against Bukola Saraki is a hypocrite. What is the different between Tinubu in Lagos and Saraki in Kwara state? Both are godfathers.

Governor Nyesom Wike of River state enjoyed federal power protection in 2015, he militarilized the state, using Commissioner of Police to fight his predecessor Rotimi Amechi. Same Wike is raising false alarm of plan to rig him out in 2019, Independent National Electoral Commission is not capable of giving Nigerians free and Fair election, Federal Government will sponsor crisis in his state to pave way for state of Emergency declaration, Federal Government is planing to frame him in money laundering. Has Wike forgotten his action in 2015?

Our Amiable Information Minister which his name ryhmes with lie, Lai Mohammed called looters list released in 2007 by Federal Government illegal but in 2018 he is megaphone being used to publish looters lists. Please what make his own looters list legal?

Shehu Garba, President Muhammadu Buhari chief Public Relation Officer in 2007 called looters list released in 2007 an illegality because his then bwana Atiku Abubakar was in opposition but one of his principal, President Muhammadu Buhari achievements in 2018 is publishing of looters lists. Was he blind then but now he can see?


I won't stop this piece without talking about our revered kingmaker, Baba Olusegun Obasanjo, he planned to extend his reign in power through his ignoble and aborted third term ambition in 2007, he later gave us ailing Musa Yaradua as a leeway for his transition period ( read El-rufai Accidental Public Servant). He is telling a sitting president in 2018 who has constitutional right not to contest for office again. Who has the right to stop others from contesting?

Our Maradona in Army uniform, General Ibrahim Babaginda who dribbled past best free and fair of June 12th 1993 before he scored his goal of stepping aside in government. He denied Nigerians' will to have civilian government and plunged the nation into Abacha's years of miserable rule. Maradona has taken up an advisory role in 2018 calling an administration a failure. Has he apologised to Nigerians? No!!!

Political hypocrisy is now with us, shedding tears to loot your vote. Please shine your eyes in 2019.

I have made my point.

He came to your house to beg you for vote, he promised to give you security, good economy, good road, fight corruption, he will create jobs for your unemployed children etc. The only thing he didn't promise you is to allow you marry his wife or allowing your brother to marry his daughter.

You were convinced by his manifestoes, you ignored scorching Sun or heavy downpour and your valuable time to vote for him.

He gets to power and he becomes your god.

He allowed your children
to be kidnapped because of his failure, he denied paying ransom, terrorist swap to secure the release of your children.

And you are saying Sai Baba!

Your Governor is owing your parents twenty two months salary and if he is merciful he will pay them half salary, he will tell you his state is having paucity of fund but he is collecting his Monthly salary and allowances in full. He was in your area to welcome new decampes to his party, it was a mega rally, millions of naira wasted. You were there to hail him inside sun while he was sitting under a canopy.

The nation Emperor is visiting your state. Your state god wanted to show Emperor his popularity, the god asked your child to come out very early in the morning, your child stayed under scorching sun from morning to afternoon waiting for the Emperor. Your child was inside sun to hail the Emperor.

Your child returned home in the evening having body temprature, you didn't have money to buy drug, your neighbour had mercy on you, he gave you paracetamol to suppress the temprature, the child was not feeling better, you rushed the child to hospital but Doctors were on strike. Who is to be blamed?

Your state god spent eight years as Governor, later went to the Senate to enrich himself. He has been collecting opaque huge amount of money. Your community electricity transformer was faulty, he gave you one transformer as a crumb from his table. You went on radio telling the whole world to thank him on your behalf.

If he didn't give you the transformer, what is he using his constituency allowance for?

You better free yourself from shackle of paying political homage to politicians, mental emancipation.

I have made my point.

Blood! Blood!! Blood!!!... everywhere. Blood thirsty vampires masquerading as herdsmen have taken over the land.

They killed 73 innocent lives in Guma and Logo local government Ares of Benue state. Another 26 defenceless souls were killed in Omusu village also in Benue state.

Mass burial in our land when we are not at war. Many rendered houseless when we are not fighting against one another.


They sucked blood of innocent souls from southern kaduna to Bassa in plateau state. Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo and Osun states have seen they in action.

They are herders with AK47 rifles to take over the land. Delta, Kogi, Taraba, Ebonyi, Edo have suffered from them.

Why are they killing us? Why did they want to take over our land? Who will deliver us from their jaw? Blood of innocent lives crying for justice everywhere.

Different narratives have been said about them. It depends on who to believe. Some said it is a jihad war declared against Christians. Others said they are after taking over our land and make it another Hausa/Fulani Empire. Some said Nigeria is their conqured territory.

Governor Nasir El-rufai said they are not his fulani brothers but terrorists from Niger, Chad, Mali and other places terrorizing us.


One of our security god said it was a clash over control of land between herdsmen and farmers.

Abubakar Atiku said it is misnormal to tag fulani herdmen terrorists.

Who are these vampires sucking our kinsmen's blood? Who are this vampires maiming our love ones?.


Who will deliver the land from their hands? Emperor Muhammadu Buhari is helpless, he can't declare his fulani brothers with ammunitions terrorists because he will need their votes in 2019.

Our security agents have suffered from them, they can't arrest or prosecute any of them. Is it because they are kinsmen of our Emperor?


Who will save our land from blood sucking vampires? Who will stop them from sucking our blood? Blood of innocent and defenceless souls they have sucked are crying for justice.

Who will give us justice?

Did I hear former Governor of Abia state, Orji Kali very well that President Muhammadu Buhari should probe former President, Olusegun Obasanjo to show sincerity in fighting corruption in the country?.

Obasanjo is a kingmaker.

He picked late Musa Ya'radua as his successor in 2007 against his self acclaimed powerful vice president Atiku Abubakar.

Atiku ran to defunct Action Congress to contest but the rest is history as he came back home defeated.

Obasanjo told northerner's oligarchy in 2011 that Goodluck Jonathan from the south will retain his seat in Aso Rock villa. Adamu Ciroma and his cohorts picked Atiku to contest against the kingmaker anointed candidate. Atiku was disgraced in People Democratic Party presidential primary election.

The kingmaker told Jonathan in 2015 to forget his ambition to run for president. The incumbent encouraged by praise singers ran for office and he lost out.

Obasanjo destroyed his PDP membership card to tell the world that he is for any candidate except Jonathan in 2015 general election. The rest is history as his preferred candidate, Muhammadu Buhari emerged as winner.

He is notorius for writing scathing letters to past heads of state, which signaled their ignoble fall from office.

He warned Shehu Shagari not to seek re-election in 1983, Shagari rejected his advice and his government was toppled by the military.

Late General Sanni Abacha ignored his warning not to change from khaki to mufti, he went ahead with his plan and death ended his ambition.

He warned former President Goodluck Jonathan not to seek re-election in 2015 through famous before it is too late memo, Jonathan ignored the kingmaker advice and he was defeated.


The kingmaker has many friends at his beck and call around the globe. His opinion on any national issue is respected. He won the heart of the world in 1979 for handing over to a civilian goverment when all his contemporaries were sitting tight in office.

He has questions to answer for many uncompleted projects in power sector where fund were released but projects were undone.

His proposed third term ambition where money was flying around legislative chambers to bribe lawmakers to amend the constitution.

Who will ask the kingmaker to give account of his stewardship from 1999 to 2007?.

Governors are political gods of their respective states.

A senator today is a potential Governor tomorrow.

A senator will plan to move from the chamber to Governor's lodge.

A Governor will want to block the senator ambition if he is not in his good book.

A Senator will try to actualise his ambition against the plan of the god of the land.

Senator Ogunleye Adeola "yayi" ambition to take over from Governor Ibikunle Amosun of ogun state is genarating crisis, although he claimed to come from yewa which the Governor has agreed to produce his successor but he has promised not to give it to a stranger because it will be an insult on the state.

Senator Adeola was born in Lagos state and represent Lagos West senatorial district.

Senator Shehu Sanni (kaduna central) is one of the critics of Governor Nasir El- rufai. Although the senator had denied eyeing the Governor seat but he might contest against him in 2019 election.

Senator Kabir Marafa is not in good book of his Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara state. The Senator alleged that the Governor is not from the state and that the Governor and his deputy are breeding militia terrorizing the state. The senator has not hide his intention to take over from Governor Yari but the Governor team has promised to clip his wing and he won't get ticket to return to the Senate.

They took their crisis to the Senate when the INEC REC nominee from the state, Ahmad Mahmud an ally of the senator was rejected because of petition from the Governor.

Senator Abba Kyari was chief of staff to Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno state during the Governor first term in office before he became a Senator. The Governor is eyeing the Senator's seat while the Senator wants to take over from the Governor. The Governor has another Senator from Central senatorial district, Baba Garbai as his anointed candidate.

Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi is not a sitting Governor but he is god of south south politics in APC. He determines who will get his party ticket in Rivers State. Senator Magnus Abe from Rivers East has signaled his intention to contest against incumbent Governor Nyesom Wike of PDP. The minister has not anointed any candidate but he is indispose to Abe's candidacy.

Who has upper hand between the gods and the Senators is a matter of time.

It was change mantra from south to north in 2014, the incumbent president has performed woefully, and it was an abysmal performance by the ruling party. Change mantra in every mouth, if you are against it, you are unrepentant enemy of progress in the mind of change’s supporters. They were shouting change without an in-depth analysis of change promises. Postponing the election for more weeks is like extending an epoch making in the political arena of the country because a sitting president will be defeated in a general election in the mind of change apologists.
Change apologists prediction came to pass in our eyes, the change candidate General Muhammadu Buhari emerged winner in the poll. Almost three years in the saddle, Nigerians are asking if this is the change they championed. Some traveled miles to fulfil their civic right because of the Change President, others defiled sun and rain to have Change president in power. Is that why they are angry with change President?.
Mr. Change President made many promises during the electioneering, change to tame corruption, change to security, and change to good economy. Mr. Change President has not kept his promises. Corruption is still walking in broad daylight even in the executive. How do you explain reinstatement of a suspected head of an agency by a Minister and Mr. Change President will reinstate him without consulting his minister? Mr. Change President said he has defeated dreaded Boko Haram insurgents but arm carrying suspected Fulani herdsmen have been upgraded. What should we say about many Nigerians that have lost their jobs, high cost of living and low standard of living?
Praise singers and sycophants have taken over. Giving out sonorous lyrics about Mr. Change President unfelt achievements. His party will win again in 2019, begging him to run in 2019 because he is the nation’s messiah, automatic endorsement from south to north, from Kogi to Nassarawa state. What about Nigerians on the street that are dying every day in the hand of suspected herdsmen? Citizens have the final right to vote for leaders of their choice.
Mr. Change President has encouraged nepotism and favourism in his appointment. Nigeria is having security chiefs from one section of the country. The nation is divided along ethnic and religion lines more than previous years.
It is imperative to mention Mr. Change President blame game tactics. For all the reasons he was voted to change, it is the previous administration that has made his effort unseen. Nigerians are tired of shifting blames.
He still has more than a year to deliver on his genuine change promises, creates genuine jobs against the existing media hyping. Tame corruption with all political will and muscle he has without fear or favour. He must stop nationwide shedding of innocent blood by the suspected Fulani herdsmen.
Mr. Change President should know praise singers from genuine friends. He has the constitutional right to seek re-election in 2019 but Nigerians have the right to reject him.
Time won’t permit me to write about Obasanjo’s letter influence on his administration in the international communities. He shouldn’t be like proverbial missing dog that didn’t listen to the hunter’s whistle. He should listen to resonate groaning of Nigerians about this administration.

"Nigerians will regret voting for Buhari, he is an ethnic bigot, he will protect interest of his people above national interest, I told you he put Shehu Shagari, a former president from the North in house arrest and Alex Ekwueme, a former Vice president from the south in jail. Forget all rebranding Tinubu and Amechi gave him to deceive you people, he can never change from being an ethnic bigot".
The statement above was made by one man on May 15th, 2015, when he was swear in as a President. I was in a transit with the man. I took the man to be a bad looser maybe he supported President Goodluck Jonathan at the poll. I took the man to be a prophet of doom, that Buhari is a refined man.
I don't know I was wrong about my perception of the then incoming president but events happening in the country have proved the man right. Nigeria is now a nation at war from within, suspected marauding Fulani herdsmen are killing innocent citizens and the Nation Chief Security Officer (Buhari) cannot declare any Fulani herdman with live ammunition a terrorist that must be charged with treason felony on his neck.
After nationwide outcry over Benue massacre, all what the nation chief of Arm Forces did was to send Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris to the state to fish out the perpetrators. Are we not in this country when flag waving Nnamdi Kanu and his Indigenous People of Biafra were proscribed and declared a terrorist organization?. Despite public outcry against deploring armed military officers to the South East at the peak of the agitation that they were not train to have contact with armless civilians.
Why can't he deplore same military operation to affected states to flush out the killers? It is unheard in the history of this country seeing a herdman with a live ammuninition, what we use to see in this country is a fulani herdmen with rods. With police operatives deplored to Benue state and those unrepented suspected fulani herdsmen slaughtered two officers. Mr President never deem it fits to delare them a terrorist group. It is not obvious that President Buhari is protecting the interest of his Brothers? They can do anything against the law. Are they above the law and free to put on impunity cap?. Despite mass burial we saw in Benue state, nobody has been arrested and Mr. President has not issue any query to any security operative for this national embarrassment.
President Buhari might be against this killing of innocent lives but his action and body language which we can see has shown that this people are untouchable because their brother is the number one citizen of the country. Are we not in the same Nigeria where Mr. President put on army uniform to Zamfara state to read riot acts on militias terrorizing the state?. Why can't he do the same to affected states under the siege of suspected Fulani Herdsmen attack.
Mr. president should know he is a president of a Nation not to protect interest of few nothern mafias at the detriment of the nation. His appointment has been lopsided with his kinsmen from the north having lion share, he has perogative right to determine who works with him but every group in the country must be represented and protected. Buhari action is pushing this country to the brink of war, when citizens felt they cannot be protected by the system, they will pick up arms in the name of self defence, any scrupulous group can hijack the process and the nation will be pushed to war.
With ranches which is the panacea to herdsmen/farmers crisis in the world, our President is proposing cattle colony. What is the different between colony and ranch?. Every herdman will purchase a land and fenced it to make a ranch while land for colony will be provided by state government and Federal government will develop the land. Is Buhari and his Agricultural Minister trying to give out lands to herdsmen. I have never seen in this country where lands were given to farmers for free. Cattle breeding is a business, why using money to buy ammunitions and they can't acquire land. Mr. President should think twice.
There have been different narratives to the motive behind this incessant killing, ethnic cleansing, jihad war, hausa/fulani quest to take over Nigeria, a plan to islamatise the Nation. Nigeria is sitting on a keg of time bomb.
It is obvious that Buhari government is not ready to take decisive action against anybody from the north. How on earth would two nothern extraction ministers allegedly involved in bringing back a wanted criminal to Civil Service without being queried or fired in a government fighting corruption. Why is Babahir Lawal not being percecuted after he was indicted by Vice President Osinbajo report. Why is Buhari afraid to percecute anybody from the north that erred?. Is he afraid of offending north to have lee way in 2019?. He should know he was elected as President of Federal Republic of Nigeria not to protect any Hausa/Fulani interest against the nation interest.

Banji left home very early in the morning to enable him board a bike with a fair fare to Office, he came back very late last night. Fare has been hiked due to fuel scarcity is bitten harder each day. He had a very short night rest, he thought the fare will be lesser very early in the morning. He has been standing for an hour, those riders are not respecting his over starched shirt with a neat tie, he holds his suit jacket in his hand. The less fare he has seen so far is Seven Hundred naira only (#700), fare that used to be Two Hundred naira (#200). He muttered an inaudible words against a bike man that told him to waka (trek) if he can't afford the price. when he was getting late for office, he decided to board the next bike. He was livid to pay #700, he didn't know how much he will pay in the evening. This conversation occurred on the way to office.

Banji: I wish him well
Bike Man: No wahala oooooo....

Guard of honour was on ground to be inspected, cultural troupe entertained the guests. State Governors were not left out of the event despite different political affiliation. It was not a carnival nor a political summit but it was the home returning of President Buhari after spending more than one hundred days in the United Kingdom to attend to his undisclosed illness.
His supporters (maybe rented) came out enmass from the presidential wing of Nnamdi Azikwe international Airport were on the street with only one mission jubilation for the return of "baba", Kogi state Government even declared public holiday to show its commitment to BUHARISM (being Buhari more than Buhari himself), thumb up to all his supporters teaching us no vacuum in Aso Rock since he had transmitted letter to the national assembly, an end has come for now on allegations of CABALS stage managing his health, rumour mongers of his death will abate for now. The nation is back on track, he has returned with his magic wand to revive the economy ( i haven't seen any change). Although he will go back soon for further treatment and i learn rats has pursued him out of office, he will be attending to official matters from home (it is better than to have him nursing Lassa fever).
However, as a nation before we ran out of celebration mood we need to address a cardinal issue of our nation existence. How long can a sitting president stay out of office based on medical vacation, with this our existing constitution provision a president can stay out of office for the whole four years. Once he has transmitted letter to the national assembly, we will be singing no vacuum in the government, he hasn't violated any law.
I know you are saying no Section 144 of the Nigerian Constitution (amended) has taken care of it. Although, i am not a lawyer but i will do justice to it. Two third majority of the Federal Executive Council (ministers) will declare the president incapacitated. Their resolution will be passed to the President of the Senate who will set up a medical panel which will include the President or Vice President personal Doctor (as the case maybe). The medical panel report will be sent to the President of the Senate who will publish the report in the Government Gazette and the president has been impeached on the date of the publication. This is doable in a sane clime, where national interest is above personal interest. How do we want a serving minister to vote that his principal who appointed him is incapacitated. How do we want a national assembly that is made up of members from the same political party with the president to set up a medical panel to declare the president unfit to discharge his duties.
We need to save our ministers and President of the Senate emotional and loyalty trauma to follow this path. In a nation where there is always ethnic and religion colouration to every national discourse, let there be urgent constitution amendment that will stipulates number of days a president can spend on medical vacation and when he or she (a feminist urge in me) has spent more than the specified days he or she should be honorably impeached.

Our is a nation where the president has been on medical vocation for over ninety days without us (masses) knowing nature of his sickness. our is a nation where we were told to keep praying for an ailing President to be healed without knowing nature of his sickness except pictures and assurance of his recuperation from his selected guests. I know some weaker animals are praying for him to return home and abroad without asking what is the nature of his sickness. Is there no vocal voice of respected citizens to ask him (Mr. president) to tell us the nature of his sickness? Have we all be turned to zombies who can't ask questions? where are the activists of the past?
We have been on this path before, we are not new here.Someone has made us to pass through this path before and we still remember what our Activists cum Politicians did to the man. Where is Professor Sagay, he was a leading voice asking Late President Musa Yaradua to resign. Lagos was center of agitation, the protest extended its tentacle to Abuja, fierce Pastor Tunder Bakare turned Save Nigeria Group (SNG) to his pulpit asking the unknown cabals to tell Yaradua to resign or send letter to the national assembly for Goodluck Jonathan to be president in acting capacity. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and his ACN acolytes didn't allow the matter to go without adding their voices that Nigerians deserve to know daily update of Yaradua's health progress. Dino Malaye, Shehu Sanni, Nasir El-rufai Aminu Masari and President Buhari himself asked the poor man to resign if his health has failed him. Femi Falana in his peak of activism didn't spare his spear calling Yaradua and his invisible cabals to leave Aso Rock.
My fellow citizens, the story has changed now, all our vocal voices are sleeping or hibernating, those that are awake can't talk because of political gain, sympathy or affiliation. Pastor Bakare is a strong allay of ailing Buhari, any call for his resignation will be treated as an act of betrayal. Bola Tinubu and his former ACN travelers now in APC will be regarded as drumming support for a yoruba man to usurp power from a fulani man. Dino Melaye, Shehu Sanni, Aminu Masari and Nasir El-rufai will be regarded as a bastard in the north for supporting their kinsman removal from office which might jeopardized their tenure renewal in 2019 general election. Femi Falana has preferred not to talk against this abnormality for the reason best known to him.
But why are we here? This is a nation where someone will want to hold on to power to keep enjoying dividends of a political office. No public officer will try this abnormality in a civilized clime, where citizens know their right to demand for health status of their leaders. Citizens of my clime have trivialized this issue, this is where majority address national issues with ethnic and religion sentiment. I saw on one social media this morning where a supposed leader of tomorrow said "Buhari can stay outside the country for many days as he likes, no vacuum in the presidency unlike yaradua's days". I shook my head when myopic reasoning has overshadowed logical reasoning.
The clarion call for Buhari to resume or to resign protest is ongoing in Abuja, with Deji Adeyanju and notable thespian JIm Iyke spearheading it. They have taken it upon themselves to speak out for Nigerians when our leading vocal voices are sleeping. But would this bring back Buhari urgently to Aso Rock or to Daura? i hope Buhari's return won't be like a thief in the night return of Yaradua.

Osun west Senatorial Bye Election to fill vacuum created by the death of Senator Isiaka Adeleke has come and gone. The winner, Otunba Ademola Adeleke Of People Democratic party (PDP) is basking in his victory while Senator Mudasir Hussein of the All Progressive Congress (APC) who lost in the election is counting is lost, waiting to be reconsidered for a Commissioner nominee. However, there are lessons that been learn by all stakeholders in the election, each Gladiator must think about what worked for and against ahead of 2018 gubernatorial election. some of the lessons are as follow.
Power resides with the people. it has shown again why democracy is the government by the people, enjoying power of incumbency, security operatives to intimidate opposition members and money to induce voters can never prevail over will of the people to change government. A government that has lost sympathy of the masses will be punished through ballot papers.
It has shown again that no permanent support from electorates. A politician that is a bride of the masses today can become a fugitive and leprosy tomorrow. only keen observers of Osun State politics can know that people sang Hosanna of Governor Aregbesola in 2014 are now singing the government should be crucified. APC for the first time since 2011 lost to an opposition party in iwo/ikire axis where the party can boast of political juggernauts.
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has improved tremendously. Going through memory lane of the nation electoral umpire from 1998 to date, one will deduce that the commission is getting better each day. Introduction of Permanent Voter's card (PVC), Card reader, making use of corp members as adhoc electoral officiasl and and University Vice Chancellors as returning officers have all helped the commission to move closer to conducting free and fair election in the country.

It is mischievous saying court failed to stop Dino's recall. What is the legal meaning of status quo should be maintained. It means INEC should stop all actions on his recall, if INEC should take any further step, Dino will go back to the court for further interpretation.
Although, Dino is from my Senatorial district and I hate some of his childish acts in the hallowed chamber. Imagine a distinguished Senator threatened to beat his colleague, waring academic gown to house to show he is a graduate, uploading pictures of his car fleet on social media acting like an entertainer. It is a slap on our face.
The question begging for answer is why can't Gov. Bello wait till 2019 and deny him ticket instead of spearheading Dino's recall. It is obvious he is on a revenge mission because Dino criticised him for owing workers salary for 16 months. Gov. Bello should have acted like El-Rufai how he is handling Senator Shehu Sanni.

Bro, don't mind those insulting you. We all had past and no one is perfect. My fear is you are having lust for her because the other lady is not giving chance to have her carnal knowledge.
If truly you are having genuine love for her not lust, another hurdle to cross is your parents. Would they allow you to marry a single mother of two kids not one? We you can convince them, think about financial responsibilities to take care of two kids plus your own kids making it minimum four kids. I don't know your financial capacity and her own income.
Bro, I will advice you to look for another lady. You need to kill that pity you are having for her. Pity is not enough in marriage, reality will set in soon. I wish you best of luck.

Kanu is fighting a useless battle. He wants to be Mandela of our time but some should tell him only genuine free fighter becomes an hero. Nobody has marginalised the Sout Easterners. He should retrace his steps and get his freedom.

PDP CRISIS: WHY SHERIFF WILL FIGHT TO THE END.
by Adeyemi Taiwo
He has been called different names by his opponents from a tyrant, betrayal and power obsessed politician but with the appeal court judgment in his favor, Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff appears to be ahead of his challengers, Sen. Ahmed Makarfi and his caretaker committee.
He was a chieftain of All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) that merged with others progressive political parties to form All Progressive Congress (APC) ahead of 2015 general election. He left the party to PDP because of APC failure to handover the party structure in Borno State to him being a two term governor then a serving senator, the party structure was handed over to his estranged political son and the incumbent Governor Shettima of the state.
He believed with all his effort to ensure that the new party become a reality, he deserved to control the party structure in the state which Sen. Ahmed Bola Tinubu is enjoying in Lagos state.
Aftermath of his new party PDP to retain power at the central in the last general election, he was approached to be an acting National Chairman of the party by some Governors and party leader for six months after which a convention will be conducted to elect new National Working Committee (NWC) that will recapture power in 2019. The same people told him to contest for the same seat towards the expiration of his six months in acting capacity despite warning from Concerned PDP members headed by Prof. Jerry Gana that the new chairman should come from the south. It was at the port Harcourt convention that the bubble burst between Sen. Sheriff and his cohort that led to the emergence of Sen. Ahmed Makarfi's caretaker committee.
Sen. Sheriff is fighting back at his enemies within the party that pushed him to the port Harcourt convention and later went behind to adopt Makarfi's caretaker committee. He is fighting for his pride and dignity that he is not a man that can be used and dumped.
With Sen. Makarfi determination to flush him out of the party, if the Supreme Court judgment favours him. Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff will enter political oblivion with his heart in 2019 general election to determine the next Governor of Borno state and teach all that betrayed in the state political lesson. He can never go back to APC, the only alternative for him to stay afloat in the political arena in this country is to fight with his blood and the chairman of PDP after which he can preside over a convention that will produce loyal NWC to bite all his political opponents and remain relevant in the country.

This administration kitchen cabinet never agree in one voice concerning all any national issue. It is obvious Dabiri is having the reports and keeping it to her chest without informing foreign affair ministry.
