SAN FRANCISCO, July 14, (THEWILL) – Sacked National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has denied congratulating his rival, Ahmed Makarfi, over Wednesday’s Supreme Court verdict which recognized him (Makarfi) as the authentic chairman of the PDP.
Describing those behind the congratulatory message posted on Twitter as evil doers, he warned mischief makers against leveraging on his “huge political capital” to further their interest.
The former Borno governor, in a statement signed by his spokesperson, Bernard Mikko, stated that he owned no Twitter account and therefore could not have used the platform to congratulate anybody.
The statement reads, “Our attention has been drawn to a fake congratulatory message credited to an imaginary Twitter Handle of Senator (Dr.) Ali Modu Sheriff, the immediate past PDP National Chairman.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff do not have or own a Twitter account and could not have tweeted any message. We therefore view the said message as fake and mischievous and should be discountenanced as that of evil doers.
“We further warn all mischief makers to desist from trying to exploit the huge political capital of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff for selfish gains.”
