The People Democratic Party’s Caretaker committee has labeled Alimodu Sheriff as an agent of the opposition party APC hell bent on destroying the party.
Ousted PDP leader Alimodu Sheriff yesterday stormed the PDP headquarters and took over affairs also vowing to hold on to power until December 2018.
Recall that the party leader was forced out during a strange PDP convention in Rivers state and he was replaced. He was even barred from entering into his office at the PDP secretariat.
The Spokesman of the caretaker committee, Prince Dayo Adeyeye said in a press briefing that Sheriff was an APC agent and that the plan of the opposition was to muddle the chances of the PDP in the upcoming governorship election in Edo State.
“The All progressive Congress (APC) has contracted Sheriff and his cohorts to scuttle the chances of the PDP in the Edo governorship elections.
“We have credible intelligence that Sheriff had a meeting on Sunday night with an APC governor from the Northwest where it was agreed that he would be given full security and financial support to exacerbate the crisis in the PDP with the objective of preventing the PDP from presenting a candidate for the Edo governorship elections, or in the very least, to prevent the PDP from offering a serious challenge to APC whose electoral fortunes have continued to nose-dive.
“What we are however very certain about is that Sheriff and his fellow renegades are being used by the enemies of the PDP to destroy our party and to prevent it from reorganizing itself so as to provide a credible opposition and alternative platform for the forthcoming Edo State gubernatorial election and the 2019 general elections.” He said
