Ali Modu Sheriff, national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has failed in his bid to stop the Supreme Court from hearing an appeal filed by his rival, Ahmed Makarfi.

Makarfi is challenging a ruling by the Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt which pronounced Sheriff the party’s chairman. Moreover, Sheriff had asked the apex court to discountenance Makarfi’s appeal based on his (Sheriff) court affirmation as the party’s chairman. He said it was illegal for Makarfi to institute the legal suit since it was not recognised by law.

Akin Olujimi, former attorney-general of the federation, appeared for Sheriff, while Wole Olanipekun, stood as counsel to the Makarfi group.

After listening to both counsels, Walter Onnoghen, chief justice of Nigeria, leading the five-man panel, ruled in Makarfi’s favour.

“In this circumstance, we find merit in the appeal which is accordingly granted,” Onnoghen said

Based on the ruling, the Supreme Court is set to hear the appeal.

PDP is as good as dead to Nigeria politics.

Even though I know PDP as a party is dead,my greatest delight is that this appeal will give hope to the common man and that the final arbiter which is the supreme court is gradually gaining some form of sanity. Sheriff should be ready to face a moving train that is about to run him over...

i even hear frm a reliable source dat d man is dead

Abeg dem Neva pay sarrki?

PDP , power, since he walk out of GEJ, in public, I knew Sherrif is in soup.

I don't see this party given APC a major challenge in the next election, a serious opposition should by now have a stable house and planning their strategy on what caused their fall during the last presidential election, what is the present government during that is not right , how to win people's heart. e.t.c.
i hope if they will we won't the next presidential election we won't find ourselves in what happened in the first year in office of this present administration.
i am looking forward to a new mega party that won't have affliction to all this old politician and a president not more than 45-50 years will be elected, not recycling of old politicians.

the news dey goggles

Even if the appeal by sheriff was made to pry 3 pupils they would still have struck it out.
he is not just making sense I wonder how he intends to run an opposition party if not by brigandage

Good news we need strong opposition party and rebranded one for 2019

He is just been granted his right under the constitution since markafi and his faction have the money to pay the court and the legal fees the supreme court can only but hear the case for the revenue the court will make the judgment will still be the same.

Nice
