PDP Still In Troubled Waters As Meeting Holds Without Sheriff

Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan arrives for the extraordinary session of the African Union's Assembly of Heads of State and Government on the case of African Relationship with the International Criminal Court (ICC), in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa, in this October 12, 2013 file photo. Jonathan replaced his entire military leadership without explanation on January 16, 2014, as he struggles with an Islamist insurgency and political crisis within his ruling party. The presidency announced the removal of the chiefs of defence, army, navy and air force and named their successors. It gave no reason but the military has suffered a series of setbacks recently in fighting the Boko Haram sect which is trying to create an Islamic state in northern Nigeria.

Regardless of the united fronts that the Peoples Democratic Party has painted to the nation after the case of leadership ended at the supreme court, it seems there is still no unity as members have taken to sides. The former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who was recently sacked by the Supreme Court Ali Modu Sheriff, was noticeably absent from the party’s caucus meeting which took place on Monday, July 17.

The venue of the meeting was the party’s Abuja National Secretariat. The meeting was attended by senior members of the party including ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, serving governors and ex-governors.

This does not erase the fact that perhaps Ali Modu Sheriff hasn’t been forgiven.
