Muhammadu Buhari met with former chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Ali Modu Sheriff, at the Presidential Villa recently.
The private meeting happened just over two weeks after Sheriff defected from the opposition PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Before his defection, Sheriff had reportedly met with President Buhari in company of the PDP’s 2015 gubernatorial candidate in Borno state, Gambo Lawan, who also defected. The president reportedly directed the leadership of the APC to accept them into the party.
Sheriff was Borno state governor between 2003 and 2011 under the platform of the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP) before he defected to the PDP in 2014.
