He said: “My expectation was that they should have stood their ground and if Modu Sheriff was able to survive it we would have seen the BOT as true trustees to be trusted but they went dancing around the matter which is ridiculous to me as a person.”
He said the questionable image of the former Borno governor makes him unfit to be a leader of the PDP.
“Right or wrong Modu Sheriff has had his name, honor and integrity in question today in Nigeria.
“And at this critical stage of our political life in the PDP, I don’t think Ali Modu Sheriff as a leader of our party is the best option.”
Even if it is going to be for one hour nothing is good in it because it is denting”, he said.
The emergence of Ali Modu Sheriff as the national chairman of the PDP has caused crisis in the party as several party members have rejected him with some even threatening to resign.
