CONTRARY to claims by the Senator Ahmed Makarfi caretaker committee that the ruling All Pro­gressives Congress, (APC) was in­stigating the leadership tussle in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Saturday Sun has gathered that the 2019 presidential ambition of some notable Northern politicians includ­ing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is at the root of the leader­ship tussle confronting the erstwhile ruling party.

Addressing newsmen on Tuesday, former Minister of State Works and spokesperson of the Ahmed Makarfi team, Dayo Adeyeye alleged that the APC-led Federal Government was using the former Borno State governor, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to destabilise the main opposition party ahead of Edo State governor­ship election and the 2019 general elections.

But Saturday Sun gathered that political gladiators smarting to pick the PDP’s 2019 presidential ticket, have lined behind the factional chairmen and are now pulling the strings.

Ahead of his speculated return to the party, former Vice President and APC chieftain, Atiku Abubakar is believed to be giving moral and financial support to the Ahmed Ma­karfi committee, a creation of the party’s highest organ, the national convention.

But Atiku has denied involvement in the PDP crisis. Speaking through his media aide, Paul Ibe, the former Vice President said he remains a national leader of the ruling APC and was in no way in­volved in the leadership tussle rocking his former party.

He said: “It is ludicrous. The Turaki remains a member of APC and he is fully committed to the party and working with other stakeholders to de­liver its programmes to the people.

“What has changed to generate an interest? He has no interest in foisting any leadership on PDP. He remains a bonafide na­tional leader of APC. So, it is wrong for anyone to link him with PDP crisis.”

Saturday Sun also gath­ered that the two PDP governors in the North­east, Gombe State gover­nor, Ibrahim Dankwambo and Taraba State, Darius Ishaku are also backing the embattled former Bor­no State governor, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff whose national working commit­tee was dissolved at the Port Harcourt convention.

While the motive of Gov­ernor Darius Ishaku for sup­porting Senator Ali Modu Sheriff is yet to be known, Gombe state governor is be­lieved to be eyeing the par­ty’s presidential ticket for the 2019 general elections.

The Makarfi commit­tee was mandated at the Convention held in Port Harcourt to administer the party for three months and conduct a convention that will produce substantive na­tional officers for the party.

A Saturday Sun source revealed that the two known contenders are positioning themselves ahead of the na­tional convention, to enable them plant their loyalists in the new national work­ing committee that would emerge and ultimately con­duct the presidential con­vention that would produce the party’s presidential flag­bearer.

Saturday Sun checks revealed that the PDP National Executive Com­mittee (NEC) had upheld the report of the Senator Ike Ekweremadu Post- Election Review Commit­tee which recommended the zoning of the party’s 2019 presidential ticket to the North.

Honourable Inua Bwala, media aide to Senator Ali Modu Sheriff could not be reached for comments as his line was switched off, as at the time of filing this report Friday evening.

Plz no blames. As wailers use to say

politics is a game of interests

Story for the gods. Who cares who is fingered? The same way Amechi used to finger Patience Jonathan for his woes as Rivers State Gov. then.

Lol PDP ke di way?

Politics. Definately a dirty game. You never know your best friend and biggest enemy

Hmm politicians

Atiku; playing chess with Nigeria siiiince 1980-jekojeko.

The pipelines destroying party has finally being converted to an Islamic party

No single follower of shuku okuko bambiala is even recognized there again

Atiku/FFK for 2019!

in this there era of fingering they should be careful of whom to finger because I won't take it easy should anybody finger my girl friend. But seriously Atiku is an astute politician. I prefer him over the Daura President, he isn't that tribalistic and is also a successful business man who I believe can run government. I wish he emerged apc flagbearer we would have been better off

Atiku is a trancherous and very dirty politician.

Have been saying this since Genesis. Sola kuti boys A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ the expired BOT buffoons are only interested in money. They J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊ƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇τ̣̣̥ want †̥♥ destroy themselves A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ the party due †̥♥ greed. It W̶̲̥̅̊åS̤̈̊ very obvious that Atiku W̶̲̥̅̊åS̤̈̊ spearheading the Makarfi hullabaloo. Shortly after Makarfi W̶̲̥̅̊åS̤̈̊ supposedly made the chairman, Atiku who could not hide his joy, started running his mouth A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ making stewpid promises about Restructuring A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ balancing income. This, coming from a selfish pig, who's children all attended foreign schools, has oil wells in ND, but has not given a shilling †̥♥ people from the south south. But the man W̶̲̥̅̊åS̤̈̊ so sure he had won, that he began his campaign a bit †̥oo early. Well, all I can say, is that he has failed. J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊ƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇τ̣̣̥ like the useless New PDP buffoons failed A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ ran †̥♥ APC, so also will they fail again, A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ remain in APC.

Even a baba ijebu addict will not bet on this odds

who fingered them o

Ok but who dem epp

Ok

We are all watching where all this will lead to!

WHY APC IS STRONGER THAN PDP. .
1. It took PDP 16 years to make a dollar = N197,
but it took APC just 1 year to make a dollar N350.
...
2 It took PDP 16 years to destroy Nigeria, but it
took APC just 1 year to massacre, dismantle, kill
and bury Nigeria. ...
3. It took PDP 16 years to make fuel price N87 per
litre, but it took APC 1yr to make fuel N145 per
litre. ...
4. It took PDP 16 years to make Nigeria corrupt,
but it took APC just 1 year to make Nigeria
Fantastically corrupt.
5)It took PDP 16 years to keep the price of rice at
N7,000 per bag, but took APC 1 year to project it
to N18,000 per bag.
6) It took Jonathan 5yrs to travel to 15 countries,
but it took Buhari 1 year to travel to 30 countries.
7)It took PDP 16years to apply resounding
economic policies that made banks grow, but took
APC 1 year to apply policies which they beg banks
not to sack more staff.
CONCLUSIVELY; I am beginning to think that while
PDP is better in administration, APC is better in
opposition, that's why APC is still campaigning,bla
ming, promising and playing opposition part
despite being the Ruling party after one year.

It is so obvious that the crux of the crisis is inordinate ambitions.

It's obvious the northern APC are still very much interested in d affairs of the PDP and thereby unsettling the PDP...
But O.P which one is FINGERING inside this matter...


the poster above me. u be Hon. Patrick student ?

Not bad anyway!

I've never trusted Atiku as an APC member.

Ok

Hmmm

Laughing......

Atiku is synonymous with Violence. I knew he will have a hand in it.

Greed
