The Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of hiring “ousted” PDP Chairman Alhaji Ali Modu Sheriff to destroy the PDP. Sheriff was removed as party Chairman at the May 21 botched National Convention in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, where a Caretaker Committee was told to take charge of the party’s affairs.
But Sheriff on Monday stormed the party’s Abuja headquarters to take charge of its activities. He declared the Caretaker Committee as an “illegal” body and vowed to continue as chairman till December 2018.
At a media briefing yesterday, held at a private residence, spokesman of the caretaker committee, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, said the aim of the APC was to scuttle the chances of the PDP in the upcoming governorship election in Edo State.
