Ali Modu Sheriff, former chairman
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), met with President Muhammadu Buhari at
the presidential villa in Abuja on Thursday.
He, however, sneaked out of the
presidential villa after the almost one hour meeting which took place in the
president’s office.
On his way to the president’s
office, Sheriff indicated interest in speaking with reporters but suddenly
changed his mind at the end of the meeting.
Sherrif, who left Aso Rock around
2:40pm, made use of the security gate reserved for service chiefs.
The former PDP leader returned to
the All Progressives Congress (APC) three weeks ago but he had earlier told all
those in his faction of the PDP to defect to APC.
When he visited Kashim Shettima,
governor of Borno, last month, Sheriff said he had returned home.
“I rejoined my great party, APC
following the misunderstanding we had in PDP where I was the national
chairman,” he said.
During the heat of the leadership
crisis in the PDP, some opposition leaders alleged that the federal government
was using Sheriff to cause confusion in the PDP.
Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers
state, had said the APC would fail in its bid to use Sheriff to destroy PDP.
“What the federal government is
doing is because they have seen that the APC is fumbling, they want to cause
crisis in PDP by using a stooge. Sheriff is a mole of the APC; he is being
sponsored by the federal government. They are sponsoring Sheriff because of the
crisis in the APC,” he had said.
