Borno PDP disowns Sheriff, backs Makarfi

The crisis rock­ing the Peoples’ Democratic Par­ty (PDP) was further deepened yesterday as Borno State chapter of the party disowned the National Chairman, Sen Ali Modu Sheriff and backed the National Caretaker Committee Chairman, Ahmed Ma­karfi.

This is even as Ma­karfi warned that the way things are going in the party, there will be no PDP by August.

The Borno PDP, which paid a solidar­ity visit to Makarfi and members of the Care­taker Committee, add­ed that in spite of threat and intimidation from Sheriff, they refused to leave the party.

The state PDP, un­der the aegis of Borno State PDP Concerned Grassroot Stakehold­ers, led by Usman Dan­juma Ibrahim, said the members have passed through various threats, money inducement and intimidation by Senator Ali Modu Sheriff.

He installed state EXCO for our members to leave the party, but we stayed firm due to the love we have for the party.
