Press Release
The attention of the National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to assertions made in the media by the former Chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff that clandestine visits were made to a key figure of the APC. In addition, he alleged that the Chairman and Secretary have a pact to reserve the Presidential ticket of the PDP to the said APC Kingpin.
The public is kindly reminded to recall that it was barely two weeks ago the former Chairman alleged that Senator Ahmed Makarfi is only pursuing his Presidential ambition and not concerned about the job given the Committee by the National Convention. Now, he has changed the story.
The public is also kindly reminded that one of the problems that led to the removal of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff was attempting to convert himself from a 3 months Chairman to not only a substantive Chairman but the Party's Presidential Candidate for 2019. He went further to start offering running mate position to different individuals.
It is also a fact that as soon as Senator Ali Modu Sheriff was appointed as Chairman, many founding members of the Party left it.
On the other hand, as soon as the National Caretaker Committee was appointed, people started retracing their steps back to the Party.
For avoidance of doubt, any high profile visits/meeting to/with the Committee or by the Committee are always reported to key leaders of the PDP. Therefore, there is nothing for Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to disclose.
The Committee is willing to receive any individual or group irrespective of their political dispositions. We are also prepared to visit anybody willing to receive us as long as it is in the interest of our great Party and country to do so.
The Committee will continue to work day and night to build followership for the Party during our short period of stay.
Finally, the Committee still wishes to renew its call to Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to embrace dialogue leading to peaceful resolution of the situation at hand.
Signed:
Prince Dayo Adeyeye
Member, PDP National Caretaker Committee
