Why can\u2019t he just be a member, and help build the party in the north\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another source of anger is the alleged plot by Modu-Sheriff to stay till 2019, resign his position, then throw in his hat for the slot \u00a0of Presidential candidate. A source blamed Fayose for enabling Modu-Sheriff because he has been promised the slot of running mate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pointblanknews.com gathered that some of those kicking against the move by Modu-Sheriff include, Governors of Ibrahim Dankwabo of Gombe, Darius Ishiaku of Taraba, ex Niger Governor, Babangida Aliyu, Prof Jerry Gana, Ibrahim Bunu, \u00a0deputy spokesman, Abdulahi Jalo, Adamu Ciroma, Ibrahim Babangida, Salif Keita, Ali Monguno, \u00a0\u00a0Ibrahim Mantu\u200e; a former Minister of Police Affairs, Alhaji Waziri Maina; \u00a0a former presidential aide, Ahmed Gulak among others. The group also called for the postponement of the party\u2019s national convention slated for that date in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A former Minister of Information, \u00a0Gana, who is the leader of the leader of the group decried what it called the level of impunity and imposition in PDP, noting that for the party to return to the vision of its original founders it must purge itself of these vices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The group \u00a0said the postponement was necessary in order to carry our reconciliation among aggrieved members.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The North Elders Forum also picked holes in the proposed constitutional amendment, noting that it violated the PDP constitution.<br \/>\n\u200eThe PDP National Executive Committee is meeting next Wednesday to debate on the proposed constitutional amendment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sheriff had proposed various amendment into the party\u2019s constitution, including a clause into the activities of the Board of Trustees of the party which forbid its members from meeting without the knowledge of e national chairman.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to our source, the northern stake holders see the move as risky considering the fact that the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu led south west gave candidate Buhari the edge in 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But the south west\u00a0 the north is rooting for appear to be reluctant as its top gladiators are not united on this matter. As a matter of fact, they have tactically endorsed Modu-Sheriff, as Governor Ayodele fayose, Segun Mimiko, Senator Buruji Kashamu, have bowed to the antics of the chairman,.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Those hitherto opposed to Modu-Sheriff, \u00a0led by Bode George have also bought the idea not minding the consequences,. A source at the last Akure, Ondo state meeting hinted that, the issue of zoning was not discussed as Fayose and Mimiko just talked about unity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c They have all bought the idea , very unfortunate, all those who were insisting the South West should be given the chairman\u2019s slot, have all fallen in line\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pointblanknews.com also learnt that some elements within\u00a0 the northern bloc, in desperation to stop Modu-Sheriff, \u00a0is insisting that the position must not be zoned to just North East but North, \u00a0calculated to field a formidable candidate against Modu-Sheriff, likely former Education minister, Ibrahim Shekarau who is from kano, the North west.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The source noted that, \u201cthere is another option ,that would stop Modu-Sheriff, \u00a0to get the North West to produce the chairman of the party, and Shekarau is being seriously considered because the governors see him as one of their own having served as governor of Kano state\u2026He is also perceived as an orator compared to Sheriff who may not be able to electrify a campaign rally or market the party effectively when the time comes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pointblanknews.com source also hinted that \u201c when the chairman met with Babangida Aliyu two weeks ago in the ex Governor\u2019s Abuja home, Aliyu told him straight up, you cannot be chairman beyond the convention, in the interest of fairness\u201d..<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The source also debunked claims by\u00a0 former deputy national chairman, and Board of trustee, Shuaibu Oyedokun, who alleged that Bode George was working against Modu-Sheriff. He said \u2018 it is not true because the two groups have agreed to back the chairman, but I was at the meeting in Akure and do not agree with that position because it will destroy the party\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the source \u201c another angle is, the northern bloc is saying if the south west do not want to be chairman, the South South or South East should get it\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0Deputy spokesman, Abdulahi Jalo, who was one of the PDP chieftains that opposed the appointment of the former Borno State governor as party chair, faulted\u00a0 Fayose \u00a0and other politicians from the southern part of the country for pushing for an extension in office of Sheriff.<br \/>\nAccording to him, following a directive by the NEC of the party, Sheriff had accepted to serve for a specific period in line with the zoning formula agreed upon.<br \/>\nJalo said already, it was proposed that the presidential candidate of the party would come from the northern part of the country and the national chairman from the south.<br \/>\n\u201cSheriff should not make a U-turn since he had pledged that he would not stay beyond 21st May, 2016\u201d, he said.<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Oyedokun who denied that the south west leaders were bought over by Fayose an agent of Modu-Sheriff who nurses the ambition of running as VP.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said \u00a0\u201cFor emphasis sake, let me re\u00adstate again benefits that will accrue to the south-west if we forego the position of the PDP na\u00adtional chairman for now. Let me first puncture that argument that is being held by some people that the national chairmanship posi\u00adtion of PDP had stayed for too long in the North.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to him \u201c\u201cSince only one geo-political zone of the North does not actu\u00adally constitute the entire north, facts have revealed that it is the north central geo-political zone that had been holding the posi\u00adtion. North-West and North-East zones have not been that lucky to hold the position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAgain, the gap between now, and when PDP will determine its presidential flag bearer is still long, so why not pick a north\u00aderner to lead the party? I strongly believe that by the time the party will be picking its presidential flagbearer for the next general election, the post of national chairman will move back to the south. This is imperative because since it is most likely that the party\u2019s presidential candidate will come from the north, it naturally follows that the chairman comes from south. We should canvass for a stronger representation in the party\u2019s National Working Committee, NWC. We should have at least three slots out of the 12 members of the committee\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For instance, if the south-west gets the positions of national sec\u00adretary, national auditor and na\u00adtional publicity secretary of the party, the quality of these posi\u00adtions surpassed that of the nation\u00adal chairman.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Instead of fighting for the par\u00adty\u2019s chairmanship position, I be\u00adlieve we should for now lobby for more powerful positions in the party\u2019s exco, so that we can have powerful voices in the par\u00adty. I also believe that we elders should allow the young ones to play prominent role in the party. We should be grooming younger elements with a view to preparing them for bigger challenges\u201d he added.<\/p>\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>With the PDP National convention 15 days away, there are indications that a large number of northern leaders, stakeholders, Governors, members of NASS, and retired generals are poised for a&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":46684,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
