Watch Ali Modu Sheriff Stopped From Entering PDP Secretariat By Police by bnanzip(m): 8:16am On Jun 14, 2016
The Police had on Monday stopped Ali Modu Sheriff, the former acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from entering the party’s National Secretariat (Wadata Plaza) in Wuse, Abuja.
Ali Modu Sheriff arrived the secretariat about few minutes past 7 in the morning in company of some former members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of PDP.

He claimed he remains the PDP national chairman and had come to resume office in line with the ruling by a Federal High Court in Lagos.
However, the police barricaded his motorcade and a horde of his supporters from entering the secretariat.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the supporters came under two groups, "Guardians of Democracy Support Ali Modu Sheriff’’ and "Ali Modu Sheriff PDP Chairman.’’

They supporters had dressed in crested vests and carrying placards with various inscriptions with drumming and dancing to welcome Sheriff at the secretariat.
Ali Modu Sheriff told the newsmen outside the secretariat that he was not happy with the action of the police.
He said that he was surprised at the action of the police even when the court had ordered the Inspector-General of Police to provide him with adequate security while resuming office.

"The party belongs to Nigerians and not the Nigeria Police or the people that were handpicked at Port Harcourt by Gov. Nysom Wike and his cohorts as well as the man (Sen. Ahmed Makarfi), who is purported to be acting as the national chairman of the party.
"One thing remains; there was no convention in Port-Harcourt because I cancelled it.
"I don't know why the police say we cannot enter our office when we have a valid court order to that effect.
"We will take this matter beyond the Nigeria Police, the law will take its course in this matter,’’ Sheriff said.
He described the party national caretaker committee led by Makarfi as "illegal.’’
"The caretaker committee is not known to the constitution of the party, while the Board of Trustees (BoT) is only an advisory body to the party.

"So, none of them has the power to be running the affairs of our party. Sen. Ahmed makarif led caretaker has no role here; it is an illegal body in the eyes of the law,’’ Sheriff said.
Members of the former NWC, who came to the secretariat with Sheriff, are Prof. Adewale Oladipo and Alhaji Adeyanju Adewole, former National Secretary and former National Auditor, respectively.

Noted. Does that makes one naira to one dollar as promised. Or does that give one meal per day to school children as campaigned? Abeg that a news from a dead party. When a house is decided against itself what else do you expect than total destruction?
