Court Sacks Modu Sheriff As PDP Chairman

      

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Apo, Abuja on Wednesday sacked Ali Modu Sheriff as the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Justice Valentine Ashi held that Sheriff’s ascension to office was unlawful as it was based on amended provision of the PDP Constitution illegally introduced in December 2014.
Though the court did not specifically mention Sheriff’s name, it made an order restraining all persons who became national officers of the party by virtue of the amended Article 47, Rule 6 of the party’s constitution from further parading themselves in the said capacities (national officers).
