Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has maintained that he remains the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), denying that he was sacked by any court.
In a statement he made available in Abuja after the said sack, which was signed by the National Secretary of his
faction, Prof. Wale Oladipo, Sheriff insisted that the court pronouncement had nothing to do with either his tenure or that of his predecessor, Adamu Mu’azu.
Describing reports that he has been sacked as “completely false and a clear misrepresentation” of the ruling of the
court, he argued that the court only heard and delivered judgement on a matter bothering on certain amendments in the PDP constitution.
We therefore urge those misleading the media and the unsuspecting public to desist from such. The media is also urged to always cross-check their facts before going to press,” he said.
Sheriff faction on June 29, regardless of the court ruling conducted its governorship primary election on Wednesday, meaning that PDP now has two candidates for the September 10 governorship election in Edo State.
