BEVERLY HILLS, February 23, (THEWILL) – Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken over the party’s national office in Abuja Thursday evening.
THEWILL gathered that the former Governor of Borno State was accompanied to the secretariat by some of his loyalists, including Senator Buruji Kashamu.
This development was coming nine months after he was chased away from the premises by suspected hoodlums.
Meanwhile, governors elected on the platform of the Party have said they would not be part of the National Convention being proposed by Sheriff.
They stated this on Thursday in response to statement reportedly made by Sheriff on Wednesday when he received members of the party from the South West.
Sheriff had on Wednesday said he would quit office as “soon as a national convention is held and new national officers are produced.”
But the PDP governors, who are members of the Ahmed Makarfi-led faction, maintained that they would never be part of the convention.
The Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum and Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, said the proposed convention would be an exercise in futility.
“We will never be part of the convention because it is an exercise in futility,” he said.
“The case is already at the Supreme Court so we await the outcome of the case.
“I repeat, Sheriff is a general without army. Who are his governors or top political office holders?
“He is an agent of destabilisation in the PDP: he is a mole of the All Progressives Congress.”
