Former factional national chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff will Thursday
formally return to the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
Checks revealed that the former Borno state governor will be
received at the ruling party national secretariat along with his
supporters by the national chairman of the party, Chief Odigie
Oyegun.
Senator Sheriff was a pioneer chieftain of the APC, having
joined the erstwhile main opposition party as member of the defunct
All Nigerian People’s Party, (ANPP).
He defected to the PDP in 2014 in controversial circumstances
having lost out in the power play at the national secretariat of
the APC which accorded the Borno state governor, Ibrahim Shettima
the status of leader of the party.
His sojourn in the PDP was also dogged by controversies as he
struggled for the position of national chairman with former Kaduna
state governor, Senator Ahmed Makarfi until the Supreme Court
declared his claim illegal and pronounced Senator Makarfi the
authentic PDP National Chairman.
