More Troubles for Modu Sheriff as Arewa Group Rejects his PDP National Chairmanship

As controversies continue to mar the emergence of Ali Modu Sheriff as the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a group called AREWA PDP AWAKE (APA) today rejected him.

It described his emergence as "not only irrational and devoid of any logical reasoning but a very wrong choice at this trying period of the party expected to repair its battered image and future."

APA, while vehemently objecting to his emergence,  said:  "Senator Ali Modu Sherif is coming at a very wrong time especially now that the party was yet to  recover from its  disastrous outing in the last general Elections."

In a statement issue and signed by the National Coordinator, National Secretary and the National Publicity Secretary respectively in Bauchi, the group said: “We at Arewa PDP Awake totally reject Senator Modu Sheriff as PDP National Chairman and we urge all stakeholders in the party to urgently take action in order to save the party from disintegration".

The group stressed that "We as stakeholders who believe that it's not late for the party to do the needful by  putting in motion all the necessary machinery aimed at bringing the PDP out of the woods,but we however wish to use this medium to make our position clear that in the event Senator Sheriff remains the PDP National Chairman we have no other option than to go back to our supporters to chart a new course for our political future in the interest of unity ,stability and progress of our country ".
‎
According to the statement," Since  Modu was announced as the national chairman of ‎the party, unpalatable reactions across the country has been  enough testimony for the governors and NEC members to ask him Modu to step down, as anything short of that PDP will become history in Nigeria".

APA posited that,” it's our believe that at this trying moment of PDP the party does not need people like Senator Sheriff to lead the party whose past records speaks volumes of allegations of complicity of all kinds," adding that the party need people with integrity who are focused ‎and result oriented.
