A Federal High court sitting in
Abuja has sacked Ali Modu Sheriff
from his position as National
Chairman of the PDP after
nullifying the 2014 PDP
Constitutional Amendment on
which basis Sheriff was appointed
PDP Chairman.

Justice Valentine Ashi, who
presided over the case described
the amendment as illegal and a
violation of the Electoral Act and
declared all action carried out with
it including anybody parading as
officer of the PDP as illegal

Wednesday’s judgment is the latest
dimension in the leadership tussle
that is threatening to divide the
People Democratic Party. The
‘Caretaker’ chairman of the Party,
Ahmed Makarfi has said that Modu
Sheriff is trying to bring the party
to ruin.
