While some think it is a brilliant move, some others have a lot of reservation about it, saying it may even mean the end of the political party altogether. However, some others are indifferent about it.
When we asked our readers what they thought about PDP’s choice of Ali Modu Sherriff as the National Chairman at this time, 71.2 per cent of the respondents said he was not he best choice for the party.
Seventeen per cent of the respondents believed the former governor was the best man to move the party forward, while 11.8 per cent were indifferent about the decision.
Those opposed to the choice said claims that the former governor was affiliated to Boko Haram made his emergence as national chairman negative for the PDP.
“His personality has been damaged following the unending crisis of Boko Haram; even though he might not have orchestrated the establishment of the group, there is the feeling that he is affiliated to them,” a respondent said.
Some, who said he was the best man for the job, were only being sarcastic about it, saying that the choice was positive because it would ensure that the PDP never gets close to the presidency again.
“It is a boost to end PDP,” a respondent said.
“So that he will kill the party completely,” another said.
Supporters of the new PDP chairman argued among other things that he was capable of boosting the party’s profile in the North-East where the ruling All Progressives Party had huge following.
“He (Modu Sherrif) has lots of followership in the North; a place where the APC currently enjoys numerical advantage over all other parties. Besides, the man is legitimately financially loaded!,” a respondent said.
Another respondent said, “Senator Modu Sheriff is a politician of repute and integrity.I strongly believe, he has the capacity and intelligence to deliver PDP to the promise land.”
