Many ministers, who served under former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, have threatened to leave the Peoples Democratic Party if Alhaji Ali Modu Sheriff is not removed as the national chairman of the party.
They said “imposing” the former governor of Borno State on the party by some of its influential members was meant to portray the party as unserious.
They added that the plan to reposition the former ruling party ahead of the 2019 general elections had failed with Sheriff’s emergence.
Spokesperson for the former ministers and a former Minister of National Planning, Dr. Abubakar Suleiman, said this in an interview with one of our correspondents in Abuja on Wednesday.
Sheriff was selected by the members of the party’s National Executive Committee at their meeting, which was held in Abuja on Tuesday.
His selection has attracted divergent views from members of the party, including its many organs. For example, the Board of Trustees of the party and its Senate Caucus have kicked against Sheriff’s choice.
In his reaction, Suleiman said it was obvious that the plan to rescue the party had failed.
He said, “Our rescue mission has failed; the redemption boat has capsized and our journey to recovery has come to an end.
