JUST IN: PDP exposes Ali Modu Sheriff and his links with APC

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has revealed that its factional chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff, is an agent of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Sheriff left the APC and joined the PDP where he was made the national chairman. However, the crisis that followed later forced some of the members of the party to remove him.

The PDP accused Sheriff of working with the APC

Since then, the former governor of Borno state had been fighting the party now headed by Ahmed Makarfi, a former governor too.

In a statement by Dayo Adeyeye, the national publicity secretary of the Makarfi-led faction, the party said: "We maintain that Sheriff and his co-travelers are agents of the APC.

"We insist that they are paid agents of the ruling party to destabilize our great party, the PDP; as it is evident that they are all profiting from the unwarranted conflict.
