Reports making the round suggest that the National Caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party may have settled
for Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as the next chairman of the party.
The former governor of Borno State and a former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, were drafted into the race by the
members of the party’s National Caucus in Abuja at their meeting which
ended in the early hours of Tuesday in Abuja, The Punch reports.
The meeting which was held at Ondo Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro was attended by governors of the party and others.
Again, members of the National Caucus met on Tuesday afternoon at the party’s national secretariat, Abuja..
The former governor was said to have been chosen because of his experience.
“He (Sheriff) has money. He is fearless and he has the capacity to
galvanise the north for the PDP”, a member of the PDP National Working
Committee told a correspondent of The Punch.
News of Ali Modu Sherrif being appointed as the chairman has met with mainly negative reactions on social media as people were quick to point out that Mr. Sheriff had been widely alleged to be one of the sponsors of Boko Haram.
