Ahmed Makarfi Faction Provides ‘Evidence’ APC Is Behind PDP Crisis
The lingering leadership crisis with the Peoples
Democratic Party seems to have taken a
dimension as the Ahmed Makarfi faction of Party
has provided “evidence” it says proves the
governing All Progressives Congress, APC, is
behind the party’s crisis.
Following the declaration of the a former Borno
State governor, Ali Sheriff, as the authentic
chairman of the PDP by the Court of Appeal in
Port Harcourt, Rivers State, two weeks ago, hot
words have been exchanged by politicians within
the party.
The Makarfi faction has said it has appealed the
decision at the Supreme Court.
Speaking Monday at a press conference in Abuja,
the spokesperson of the Makarfi faction, Dayo
Adeyeye, said the actions of some leaders of the
APC have proven its allegations of instigating
crisis in the PDP.“We have stated several times that the APC has
its hand deep in the PDP crisis. There is no
doubt that Sheriff’s activities against the PDP
are being aided and abated by the APC,” he said.
“For the record, just last week, the Governor of
Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, gave unsolicited
advice that we should support Senator Sheriff.
That is one instance of their meddlesomeness in
the PDP affairs.
“No doubt that Okorocha and Co. are happy that
their man won at the Appeal Court but very
much afraid that he could lose at the Supreme
Court.
“Also, we have it on good authority that the
Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has
deployed his former Abuja Liaison Officer who
was a former Intermediate Officer of the party,
Mr. John Enebeli, among others to lure some
members of staff in support of Senator Sheriff by
promising them huge sums of money to offset
their outstanding allowances,” Mr. Adeyeye said.
He also said the same tactic being applied by
Mr. Enebeli was made by Mr. Sheriff when he
first assumed office as chairman.
