PDP chieftain cautions Sheriff against tenure elongation

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Barr. Abdullahi Jalo, has cautioned the national chairman of the party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, not to listen to people who are advising him to elongate his tenure to 2019.
Jalo, who stated this yesterday while addressing a press conference in Gombe, faulted  Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, and other politicians from the southern part of the country for suggesting that Sheriff should remain in office beyond the three months agreed by various organs of the party.
He said following a directive by the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party, Sheriff had accepted to serve for a specific period in line with the zoning formula agreed upon.
Jalo said already, it was proposed that the presidential candidate of the party would come from the northern part of the country and the national chairman from the southern.
“Sheriff should not make a U-turn since he had pledged that he would not stay beyond 21st May, 2016,” he said.
