Ousted
chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff has
dismissed the report of his sack by a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High
Court, describing the report as “false and a clear misrepresentation of the
ruling of the court.”
This
was contained in a statement signed by Professor Adewale Oladipo, the National
Secretary, who said the court delivered its judgement on certain amendments,
which have nothing to do with the leadership of Sheriff.
The
statement reads in part:
“Our attention has
been drawn to reports circulating in the media that a Federal Capital Territory
(FCT) High Court has ousted the National Chairman of the PDP, Sen. Ali-Modu
Sheriff.
“This is completely
false and a clear misrepresentation of the ruling of the court as it never gave
any ruling ousting the National Chairman.
“For the avoidance of
doubt, the court only heard and delivered judgment on a matter concerning
certain amendments in the PDP constitution, which has nothing to do with the
election of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as the National Chairman or even that of
his predecessor, Alhaji Adamu Muazu.
“Senator Ali Modu
Sheriff was duly elected as the National Chairman of the PDP. He still holds
office as the National Chairman and has not been removed by any court.
“We therefore urge
those misleading the media and the unsuspecting public to desist from such. The
media is also urged to always crosscheck their facts before going to press,” he
stated.
