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
cross-check their facts before going to press.
Signed:
Prof. Adewale
Oladipo
National
Secretary
