The court, presided over by Justice Nwamaka Ogbonnaya, reaffirmed the sack on the ground that the judgment of Justice Valentine Ashi, which nullified his appointment on June 29 has not been set aside or vacated and is therefore subsisting.

The court further held that all actions taken by Sen Sherif are null, void and of no effect since the earlier order of Justice Ashi remains binding

The Court restrained Sen. Sheriff from further parading himself as the National Chairman of the PDP.

Justice Ogbonnaya also ruled that Sen. Sherif should stop taking any action or convening any meeting in the name of the PDP, until the earlier judgment of Justice Valentine Ashi is set aside or vacated.

Justice Ashi had in his judgment nullified the 2014 PDP Constitution amendment upon which Senator Sheriff is said to have been appointed as PDP Chairman.

The court described the amendment of the party’s constitution as illegal and a violation of the Electoral Act and, therefore, declared all actions carried out with the document, including anybody parading him or herself as officer of the party as illegal.

The leadership of the party has been faced with series of court orders after the controversial Port Harcourt National Convention which gave birth to the Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee.

Sen. Sheriff had challenged the legality of the Caretaker Committee, insisting he is the rightful leader of the party.

However, the court voided the said amendment on the basis that there was no compliance with mandatory provisions of Article 66 (2) and (3) of the PDP constitution.

“By reason of the above, the purported amendments introduced to the constitution on the aforesaid dates, are hereby set-aside.

“All persons, individuals, servants or agents of PDP parading themselves as national officers of the PDP pursuant to the purported amendment which has now been nullified are hereby restrained from further parading themselves in these capacities “, Justice Ashi said.

Our Judicial system is in total disarray.

Lolzzz PDP Don turn child's play.....na APGA sure pass

PDP is just a disgrace!

The headline is wrong restrain not reinstate

OP check your subject and change it.

The OP smoke Oshogbo weed.




The headline is misleading.





The Judge affirmed the earlier decision of an Abuja High Court sacking Ali Modu Sheriff.



Ali Modu Sheriff remains sacked




This judgement now brings to 4 the number of differeent Federal High Court Judges who in their seperate rulings have affirmed that Ali Modu Sheriff is not PDP Chairman.




Only the bastard and slowpoke called Justice Abang Okon keep contradicting the rulings of other Federal High Courts.

I wonder what CJN or AGF is waiting before he wades in on this matter? Court pronouncements here and there..
