It is God that used to make a leader and that was why God commanded in the Holy bible and Qur\u2019an that He should be allowed to choose a leader for the people.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI never wanted or thought of being chairman , but I was sleeping in my house when governor Fayose called me from Port Harcourt and said I was going to be the new National Chairman. This to me, was a miracle.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWith what I witnessed yesterday, it was obvious that God Chose Fayose for Ekiti people , because of his popularity among them. He was taken to the prison and eight years after, he came back. People won\u2019t be happy with the governor if he had not been fair to them\u201d.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sheriff added that \u201cIn keeping PDP together, I am not going to insult anybody , we will only do this by allowing the people to choose their leaders through credible elections\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">He promised that the PDP will remain a strong party in Nigeria through proper rebranding and by bringing aggrieved members back to rejoin the fold.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fayose, who said his government will continue to criticize Buhari, stated that, \u201che promised Nigerians 10 million jobs, but it has turned out to be 10 million job lost. He increased electricity tariff , putting PDP members in handcuffs while Boko Haram suspects are walking free. It is only a sectional leader that does this.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBuhari accused PDP of corruption, but today he is superintending over a super corrupt government\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tactically referring to why he supported Sheriff, Fayose said: \u201c we want a leader who has a second address to pilot our affairs , because some of those who were raising their voices under ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan have gone underground because of fear and what they will eat.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe know you have the capacity to restore the PDP and make it survive. You have the means and experience and we promise that we will always stand by you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peoples Democratic Party national chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff yesterday listed Ekiti Governor,\u00a0 Ayo Fayose and some unidentified Nigerians as those who made him chairman.
