The crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party deepened on Thursday with the inauguration of five committees for the conduct of another primary for the 2016 Edo State governorship election by Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff.

This is coming barely four days after a similar primary by the Sen. Ahmed Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee produced Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu as the party’s flag bearer for the same election.

Sheriff who inaugurated the committees, cited Section 50(1) of the PDP constitution which he noted was derived from the provisions of relevant sections of the Constitution and the Electoral Act, as basis for his action.

The committees are: Screening, Appeal, Ad-Hoc delegate, Ad-Hoc delegate appeal and the main Gubernatorial Primary.

Sheriff explained that the primary will hold on Wed 29th June, 2016 in Benin, the Edo State capital. He accused the Makarfi-led committee of importing “Fulani herdsmen” to occupy the party’s National Secretariat.

Are you now in PDP?

NgeneUkwenu:


Yes, lets all scatter the damn party...

He accused the Makarfi-led committee of importing “Fulani herdsmen” to occupy the party’s National Secretariat.

This is becoming hilarious. I knew Sheriff would respond to the Boko Haram salvo fired at him by Makarfi. I only didn't know that it would be a clinical tackle....How I wish these men could keep their burgeoning ambitions in check and jointly rebuild the party. But no they won't! It is a contest of who can bury the party first!

donphilopus:
The funniest party in Africa is PDP. Instead of them to keep APC on their toes, they're busy fighting themselves.

modath:






Fulani herdsmen!! Epic.

The court is likely to recognise sheriff as the legitimate Chairman, so any candidate wey get free money to gamble with better go buy Sheriff's ticket.
