Ali Modu Sheriff plans to run for President in 2019- Ahmed Makarfi- camp of PDP

The Ahmed Makarfi-camp of PDP, has alleged that the Chairman of the party, Ali Modu Sheriff, is planning to run for presidency come 2019.

Dayo Adeyeye who is the spokesperson of the PDP caretaker committee of the Ahmed Makarfi-camp, made the allegation when he spoke at a press conference in Abuja yesterday ...

"Yesterday, while addressing newsmen, as he continues to illegally occupy our Party Secretariat with the backings of the APC Government, the former Borno State Governor clearly stated that he's interested in contesting the 2019 Presidential Elections using the platform of our Party, the PDP. We said it earlier, but most non Party members as well as some members of the Party who could not see beyond the curtains didn't believe it, but we were sure that Senator Sheriff was holding the Party to ransom because he wanted to hijack the Party and use it for his selfish interest. Now, the truth has been revealed. Senator Sheriff has told the entire world that his fight for the soul of the PDP was to achieve a set objective which he has been working towards since January 2016 when he was appointed to office just to complete the tenure of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur cum Adamu Muazu who resigned having led the Party to electoral failure in 2015. The stories in the newspapers today were clear enough. For the records, he was asked if he would contest the 2019 Presidential Election and he responded "....I only told you I wouldn't run for chairman at the convention. The rest we will leave it for God to decide. What a clever way to announce his presidential ambition"he said
