Disgraced former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
Ali Modu Sheriff, has finally returned to the All Progressive Congress,
APC and reconciled with Kashim Shettima, Borno governor.
Both men have not been on speaking terms for a long period.
But on Friday, Sheriff visited the government house in Maiduguri,
announcing that he had returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC),
“my home.”
The former Borno governor appealed to APC members in the state to drop
their “selfish” interests and work in the interest of the party.
“I rejoined my great party, APC following the misunderstanding we had in
PDP when I was the national chairman,” hw said.
“I have to come back home and rejoin the APC which is my party I helped to
form in the past. I am joining APC as an ordinary member, and I want to
call on all and sundry to support the leadership of governor Kashim
Shettima and APC in the state.”
On his part, Shettima thanked Sheriff for returning to the party, saying
he is willing to work together with him.
The governor also said he would not interfere with Saturday’s congress at
the ward level.
“I do not have any particular candidate at heart, but prayed for God to
elect credible and selfless leaders,” the governor said.
National assembly members, defectors from the PDP were part of those who
were present at the meeting.
