You’re not our National Chairman, PDP tells Sheriff
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in a press statement, has told Ali Modu sheriff to stop parading himself as
the substantive chairman of the party.
The party in the statement wrote “our attention has been drawn to another set of garbage and tissues of lies put together by the discredited loyalists of Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff in the name of a press statement on Monday, November 28, 2016, wherein, the group tried to sustain it’s illegal claim to the leadership of our Party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
It stated that the The National Caretaker Committee which has been confirmed severally by the court as the authentic body saddled with the task of providing leadership for the Party pending the hosting of an elective National Convention, would have ignored the ranting of these men of dishonour but leaving them to continue deceiving Nigerians at this time would not be in the interest of democracy.
“First and foremost, we wish to state categorically that in consonance with judgment of various courts, which Ali Modu-Sheriff and his team of confused travelers have not bothered to appeal, the former Borno State Governor is not the Chairman of our Party, the PDP. His consistent claim to the Office is a continuation of their plans to sustain mayhem in our Party, but nature and fair justice have taken care of his desperation,” the statement said.
The party further drew the attention of all Nigerians to the judgment delivered by Justice Valentine Ashi of FCT High Court in Apo, Abuja on June 29, 2016, which stated clearly that Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff was never and is not the PDP National Chairman; and equally, this judgment was upheld by the ruling of Justice Nwamaka Ogbonnaya also of the FCT High Court in Kubwa, Abuja on August 17, 2016.
The party noted that Senator Modu-Sheriff and his team of circus performers have not deemed it fit to appeal the court judgments as it is tripartite in law that a judgment not appeal is binding on the
defendant.
