Sheriff join anti-graft agencies to bring corrupt politicians to book

The Supreme court deposed National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and former Governor of Borno State, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has vowed to collaborate with global anti corruption networks to bring all corrupt politicians in Nigeria to book.

Sheriff pointed out that all Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, members having criminal cases bothering of dishonesty and malfeasance would also be brought to book.

The former PDP National Chairman, who was declared illegal by the nation’s apex court last week, in a statement by Hon Bernard Mikko, who was the acting National Publicity Secretary of his faction then, declared that never again will corrupt politicians use the platform of the nation’s major political institutions to stardom.

According to the statement, “We will collaborate with global anti corruption networks to bring all corrupt politicians in Nigeria to book, including PDP members having criminal cases bothering of dishonesty and malfeasance.

” Never again will corrupt politicians use the platform of our major political institutions to stardom. The party is for all and no one’s enterprise as government is conceived as an administrative state where dishonest politicians bask in democratic corruption”‘ it said.

The statement explained that Senator Sheriff, who was neither in the country nor invited to the assemblage at Wadata Plaza on Monday evening, will address a World Press Conference (WPC) to throw light on the way forward “after we have received and studied the full judgment of the Supreme Court and analyze its import on our democracy.

“We therefore appeal to all our loyal supporters nationwide not to defect as we are still committed to bringing the party back to the grassroots.

“We assure them that we will not only give them a voice, but they will also be heard”, he said.
