How Ali Modu Sheriff drove me into reconciling with Tinubu-Obanikoro

An associate of Former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, Ademola Rewaju, has revealed that the emergency of Ali Modu Sheriff as the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was behind Obanikoro reconciliation with a National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu.

Rewaju, who made the disclosure, while speaking with Vanguard, also stated that the former Ambassador was yet to officially decamp from PDP to APC.

According to Rewaju, “Senator Obanikoro has said that he cannot remain in a party where Senator Ali Modu Sheriff is the national chairman of the party. He has even said that even if the Supreme Court decides the case in favour of Sheriff, he will not remain in the PDP

“He has not moved officially to the APC. If someone like Obanikoro moves, it is going to be celebrated. He is a former local government chairman, a former commissioner, a former Senator and a former Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; he cannot move to another political party without it being celebrated.

“Though a reconciliation has taken place between him and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and that is why you saw him sitting together with the former governor at his residence. They have actually reconciled their difference.”
