Court Re-Affirms Sheriff’s Sack As
PDP National Chairman
A Federal High Court sitting in
Abuja has re-affirmed the sack of
Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff as the
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP).
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 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 himself o
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 Harcour
National Convention which gave birth
to the Makarfi-led Caretaker
Committee.
Senator 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
