APC Chairmanship Race: Sheriff Emerging As Yari’s Rival
By Chuks Ekpeneru
Erstwhile national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has emerged as the choice of a group for the office of national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The group, “Vision for a Better Progressives and United Nigeria” (VPUN) identified the former governor of Borno State as a capable hand needed to unify the ruling APC.
A communique issued by the group following what it claimed as a ‘crucial meeting’ in Owerri, Imo State deposed that Sheriff possess the unique qualities needed to draw the APC from its present crises.
The communique signed by the National Coordinator of the Group, Comrade Peter Akubuo read in part: “Again we are approaching another critical point in the life of our party, the National convention. Ahead of this important meeting, where the delegates will be electing the leaders of our great party, we are here today to appeal to the National delegates to vote for Ali Modu Sheriff as the National Chairman of the APC.
“Having understudied his commitment to progressive and party politics, as well as the enhancement of democratic tenets, we are convinced beyond all doubts and emotions that Sheriff is the best for the APC top job.”
If Sheriff bites the bullet he would likely face the immediate past governor of Zamfara State, Abdulazziz Yari who has been repeatedly mentioned for the position.
