Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Acting National Chairman Ali
Modu-Sheriff yesterday apologised to aggrieved chieftains of the party
over statements credited to him by his personal aides and associates.
Sheriff, at a news conference in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, said
“as a well-cultured and astute politician, I would never make any
comment that would ridicule the party”, according to the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN).
He had been quoted by his aides to have damned the agitation by some
ex-governors, ex-ministers and other leaders, who asked him to quit on
May 21 when his tenure ends but Sheriff is contesting for a full term at
the national convention slated for Port Harcourt. They set up a
51-member steering committee, which they said will take over the role of
the National Working Committee (NWC).
Sheriff threatened to report former Information Minister Jerry Gana
to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly
taking an unauthorised loan of N500 million on behalf of the party
without giving a proper account.
