PDP National Caretaker Committee: Sheriff in consistent falsehood

The attention of the National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to assertions made in the media by the former Chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff that clandestine visits were made to a key figure of the APC. In addition, he alleged that the Chairman and Secretary have a pact to reserve the Presidential ticket of the PDP to the said APC Kingpin.

The public is kindly reminded to recall that it was barely two weeks ago the former Chairman alleged that Senator Ahmed Makarfi is only pursuing his Presidential ambition and not concerned about the job given the Committee by the National Convention. Now, he has changed the story.

The public is also kindly reminded that one of the problems that led to the removal of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff was attempting to convert himself from a 3 months Chairman to not only a substantive Chairman but the Party's Presidential Candidate for 2019. He went further to start offering running mate position to different individuals.

It is also a fact that as soon as Senator Ali Modu Sheriff was appointed as Chairman, many founding members of the Party left it.

On the other hand, as soon as the National Caretaker Committee was appointed, people started retracing their steps back to the Party.

For avoidance of doubt, any high profile visits/meeting to/with the Committee or by the Committee are always reported to key leaders of the PDP. Therefore, there is nothing for Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to disclose.

The Committee is willing to receive any individual or group irrespective of their political dispositions. We are also prepared to visit anybody willing to receive us as long as it is in the interest of our great Party and country to do so.

The Committee will continue to work day and night to build followership for the Party during our short period of stay.

Finally, the Committee still wishes to renew its call to Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to embrace dialogue leading to peaceful resolution of the situation at hand.

Signed:

Prince Dayo Adeyeye
Member, PDP National Caretaker Committee

APC Governorship Aspirant, Atinuke Omolayo, Participates in Delegate Congress in Emure

October 25, 2025 A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo (née Okeya), who was duly screened and cleared by the party’s National Screening Committee, has demonstrated uncommon party loyalty by stepping down for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and actively participating in the delegate congress held today in her Eporo Ward, Emure Local Government Area. Mrs. Omolayo, who was warmly received with an Ọ̀wọ̀ song by jubilant party members, expressed appreciation to her ward for the support they gave her when she initially declared her intention to contest for governor. She explained that her decision to step down for Governor Oyebanji was informed by his wide acceptability across the state, sterling performances in office, and commitment to Ekiti’s growth and development, which she described as derivatives of continuity. While addressing the crowd, Mrs. Omolayo urged party members in Eporo Ward...

Ignore Rumours: APC Confirms Governor Oyebanji’s Name to Be Submitted to INEC on January 16, 2026

…As APC Spokesperson Reiterates Official Candidate List Ahead of Publication The APC Integrity Caucus has moved to dismiss what it describes as a reckless and senseless rumour being circulated by a few individuals posing as party members. The gossip, they said, claims that the party “does not intend to submit” the name of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement released on Thursday, November 14, 2025, the caucus said such claims are baseless and should be ignored by every well-meaning member of the public. “Since the successful conduct of our governorship primary on October 27 and the ratification by authorised delegates on October 29, some mischief makers have been whispering that the party will not submit Governor Oyebanji’s name to INEC. This is completely false,” the statement read. The caucus emphasized that the APC operates according to a clearly defined timetable, which specifies the dates for submissio...
