The embattled Factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff, in an explosive interview, on Saturday, December 10, has revealed why he is being tagged a ‘spoiler’.
Addressing a Press Conference, in Abuja, Sheriff, also said that he is against the formation of another political party, noting that there was no guarantee that if the present PDP gave up its certificate of registration, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, would agree to register a new party.
This came against the backdrop of an alleged move by the Ahmed Markafi-led faction of the party, to form a mega party with the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, and the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
Though, both Tinubu and Atiku, had last week denied the report of dumping the ruling APC for a mega party.
Senator Sheriff, while encouraging all those who had left the PDP to return, said his leadership would rebuild the party, and return it to the grassroots.
Senator Sheriff, who was reacting to his labeling, as a ‘spoiler’, by an unnamed Governor from the South-South, spoke through his faction’s Deputy National Chairman, Dr Cairo Ojougboh.
He said: “It has been brought to our notice, that a Governor of the South-South, described the Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff-led NWC, as spoilers.“The truth is that, we ‘spoil’ impunity. We ‘spoil’ imposition. We ‘spoil’ corruption and greed, and we ‘spoil’ wickedness, innate wickedness to fellow party faithfuls.
“We therefore, call on our State Governors, to shun corruption, wickedness, greed, and impunity, which brought us to where we are today.“Recall that in the 2015 General Elections, we lost elections in 10 States where we had Governors in the North, due to impunity. The States are: Benue, Kogi, Niger, Jigawa, Plateau, Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi, Bauchi, and Adamawa.”“We in the NWC, are making all necessary arrangements to re-position our great party. We intend to return the party to the original owners, the grassroots.“We encourage those who left the party, to return. We are not going to allow our party to die. We therefore, will not submit our registration certificate to INEC, in order to form another party.“The politics of yesterday is very different from that of today. There is no guarantee that today’s INEC will register you once you give up your certificate. So our task, is to rebuild and re-position the party.”
