Sheriff is an agent of darkness sent by APC, Fayose claims

Ekiti State governor and chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors
Forum, Ayodele Fayose, has described the
party’s national chairman Ali Modu Sheriff as
“an impostor, an impossible character, agent of
darkness” sent by the All Progressives Congress
(APC) to destroy PDP.
The angry governor was reacting to the action
of Senator Sheriff who walked out on party
leaders during a pre-reconciliation meeting
summoned by former President Goodluck
Jonathan and held in Abuja on Thursday.
Sherif was said to have stormed out of the
meeting because he was not allowed the
chance to address the members in his capacity
as the chairman of the party.
Following that action, Fayose in a statement by
his chief press secretary on Friday, said Sheriff
was nothing but “an impostor, an impossible
character, agent of darkness sent by the APC to
destroy the PDP”.
He continued, “I will not work with him. He is a
betrayer of confidence and does not represent
peace and hope. I will not be part of any
meeting with such a desperado. If I may
holistically respond to his statement on no
reconciliation, the response is good riddance to
bad rubbish.”

Fayose, who further said that members of the
party still supporting Sheriff are enemies of
Nigeria, vowed that there was no way they will
succeed in their plans with the ruling APC to
turn Nigeria into a single party.
“Sheriff has said he can no longer work with
Jonathan or any of the PDP leaders. This is an
indication that he prefers working with the
opposition in order to destroy the PDP,” Fayose
said.
Jonathan had in a bid to reunite Sheriff and
Senator Ahmed Makarfi factions of the party,
along with chairman of the party’s Board of
Trustees, and other chieftains convened the
meeting which was well attended by members
of the factional groups before Sheriff stormed
out.
