Ali Modu Sheriff, a former governor of Borno state, has reportedly begun consultations with governors on his ambition to become the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA recall that Adams Oshiomhole was suspended in March 2020 as the APC national chairman, following a court order.<\/p>\n

Following Oshiomhole\u2019s suspension, a caretaker committee headed by Mai Mala Buni, governor of Yobe, was appointed in June 2020 to run the party\u2019s affairs, pending the organisation of a national convention.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there have been speculations that Sheriff, who was a former governor of Borno and national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is interested in the chairmanship position of the ruling party, APC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking with journalists after a two-hour meeting with Muhammad Badaru, Jigawa governor, Sheriff said his visit was for \u201cconsultation on party politics and national issues\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am in Jigawa to see my brother, governor Badaru. I have been coming to make consultation on the issues of national interest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to consult leaders on issues, and I have come to consult my brother. Badaru is one of the leading personalities in the country, and his voice is respected in national politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about his ambition for the party\u2019s national chairmanship position, Modu said: \u201cParty politics is nothing new to me. Managing the party is not difficult to me and I am now consulting leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Modu added that his previous leadership experience in the party would help him improve the APC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
