The sacked
Chairman, National Caretaker Committee of the PDP, Ahmed Makarfi, said members
of the party are free to join other political associations to realise their
political ambition.
He said
neither him nor any member of the caretaker committee had, however, joined the
proposed Advanced Peoples Democratic Party.
There have
been reports that some politicians in the Makarfi camp are behind the move to
register the APDP as a rival political party to the PDP, which is under the
leadership of Ali Modu Sheriff.
The party,
which has been in a crisis for more than a year now, has been further polarised
since the Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt Division, pronounced Sheriff, the
former governor of Borno State, as the authentic national chairman of the PDP.
Though Makarfi
had appealed the judgment, former President Goodluck Jonathan had stepped into
the crisis with a promise to a find political solution to the protracted
leadership tussle.
With a new
political party about to be registered, which has the resemblance of the PDP,
there are insinuations that one of the camps may not be sincere with the
proposed deal.
