Ali Modu Sheriff remains PDP Chairman, Appeal Court rules

The other wing just have to come around and accept the decision.

A huge setback for democracy

Full details...

The Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt on Thursday affirmed former governor of Borno state, Ali Modu Sheriff, has the authentic national chairman of the party.

It was gathered that the three judges of the court in a unanimous decision agreed that the Modu Sheriff is the chairman of the PDP.

Senators Ahmed Makarfi and Ali Modu Sheriff have tested their legal muscles through various litigations in many courts in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, with each getting favourable orders and directives with the attendant effect on stability in the party.
Chieftains of the party from the two sides had at various fora expressed readiness to abide by the outcome of the appeal court verdict with a view to bringing lasting peace in the party.




A Federal High Court in Port Harcourt had last year gave legitimacy to Makarfi as the chairman of the party, while another court of coordinate jurisdiction in Abuja, headed by Justice Okon Abang, had ruled that Sheriff should be recognised as the chairman.

The PDP has not been able to play the role of leading opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) because of the crisis ravaging it from within.

An appeal court in Abuja had on December 16, 2016, adjourned indefinitely, the separate hearing in the leadership tussle so as to pave way for the Port Harcourt division of the court to exhaust the case before it.

Both Makarfi and Sheriff have been operating from satellite offices following the closure of the national headquarters of the party, at Wadata Plaza in Abuja.

The crisis in the PDP is also raging in many states where Makarfi and Sheriff share the loyalty of members.

Great! Ali Modu Sheriff is the main man. The injustice perpetrated against him by Wike and Fayose can never stand.This judgement is victory for democracy, rule of law and internal party democracy.

Not only did they occupy the sitting room, they even took over your bedroom and your wife.

I consistently told Barcanista that he, dokpesi and Atiku will only end up in failure and misery. Now he and his sponsors can go and join the mega failure party.

The Supreme Court will reverse the decision.

Onnoghen's head dey there!

APC needs a strong opposition in the form of PDP headed by Makarfi not Sheriff!!

kITATITA:
I am waiting for the first nincompoop that will come here to blame Buhari. PDP dug its grave when it went to Sherriff's house to beg him to come and lead the party.

Shutup. This is the return of the Phoenix

Tonye, please give up. You still parade some leftover idealistic credentials. Go back to APC. Beat several other PDP members who have been waiting for this judgment before making their move.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING AM AFTER IS A GOOD OPPOSITION PARTY THAT WILL MAKE A.P.C GOVERNMENT TO SEAT UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

I tire my brother but the thing is that they are all opportunists. We have very few political leaders in the mold of Tinubu and obj. If a new political party is formed, who will lead that party? Most Nigerian politicians are gold diggers and opportunists including GEJ himself.

This is why everyone is heading to APC. They are all opportunists

Lmao

No, you and atiku have been politically molested. How much do you get from Dokpesi. There is only one option for you and your band of thieves. Get out and join the new mega maga political partie
