I have never struggled for any position in life - Modu Sheriff
The national
chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu
Sheriff, has said he would not vie for the office of the national
chairman of the party at its next convention.
Ali Modu Sheriff has said God will determine his political aspiration in 2019.
Sheriff,
however, said he would not stop any member of his national working
committee from testing their popularity at the proposed convention.
The former governor, speaking
with journalists at on Monday, March 20, at a press briefing, said God
will determine his political aspiration in 2019.
He said that he had never struggled for any position in his life.
The party chairman said God had been the one guiding him in all the political offices he had occupied in his life.
Meanwhile, Vanguard has reported
that at least five state governors out of the 11 under the control of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have moved over to the camp of factional leader Ali Modu Sheriff.
Although
the report did not state who the governors are, it claimed that they
are openly engaged with the Sheriff leadership of the party.
This is just as reports emerged
that the national chairman of the party has applied to the Supreme Court
seeking to stop the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led faction from using the
name of the party to challenge the ruling of the Court of Appeal in Port
Harcourt which affirmed him as the authentic chairman of the party.
Vanguard
reports that in a motion for discontinuance filed by Sheriff and
Professor Wale Oladipo, secretary of the party, they argued that the
Makarfi faction did not have the legal ground for such appeal.
Sheriff
therefore applied for the withdrawal of an appeal filed in the name of
the party by the Makarfi’s faction with number SC.133/2017 on February
27, 2017.
