New Peoples Democratic Party national chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff has
revealed how he emerged the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic
Party, revealing that Governor Ayodele Fayose and those he described as
‘other Nigerians’ made him assume the position.
Sheriff said this in Ado Ekiti on Thursday at the PDP secretariat being part
of his visit to the state to consolidate his hold on the party.
Let me thank Governor Fayose for his...
efforts to keep our party on ground
in Ekiti. It is God that used to make a leader and that was why God
commanded in the Holy bible and Qur’an that He should be allowed to
choose a leader for the people.
“With what I witnessed yesterday, it was obvious that God Chose Fayose
for Ekiti people , because of his popularity among them. He was taken to
the prison and eight years after, he came back. People won’t be happy
with the governor if he had not been fair to them”.
“I never wanted or thought of being chairman , but I was sleeping in my
house when governor Fayose called me from Port Harcourt and said I was
going to be the new National Chairman. This to me, was a miracle.
Sheriff added that “In keeping PDP together, I am not going to insult
anybody , we will only do this by allowing the people to choose their
leaders through credible elections”, he said.
The ex-Borno governor promised to reignite the fortunes of the party
back to what it used to be in 1999, when it was a darling party among
Nigerian.
