Buhari Must Go in 2019, Nothing Can Stop Us – PDP Chairman

Newly-appointed national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ali Modu Sheriff, on Wednesday vowed to lead the party to regain control of the federal government come 2019 elections.

Sheriff said nothing would stop his party, which lost power in 2015, from ousting the current ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, for leadership at the national level.

Sheriff, who tried to join the APC during its formation, returned to the PDP ahead of the elections.

He gave the challenge in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, during a thanksgiving service organised to mark the victory of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu at the Supreme Court.

Sheriff, a former senator and governor of Borno State, who was named PDP national chairman on Tuesday night, said the party would soon come out with its master plan on how it would defeat APC.

“We are here today, we are starting from here, and we are going to Aso Rock, Insha Allah by 2019. We will head from here and we will do it together. This my long cap is prepared to lead my colleagues and brothers to Aso Rock, Insha Allah.

“By the grace of Allah nothing will deter this party from going to Aso Rock in 2019. By the time we put down our master-plan, I am sure they (APC) will go back to where they came from. And Insha Allah, nothing will stop us,” Sheriff stressed.
