| Supreme Court kicks out Sheriff and reinstates Makarfi as PDP national Chairman |
The Supreme
Court on Wednesday removed Senator Modu-Sheriff as the National Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and declared Senator Ahmed Makarfi as the
authentic national chairman of the party.
The first issue resolved in favour of the Makarfi faction was
the preliminary objection by the Ali Modu Sheriff faction, holding that the
appeal by the Makarfi faction was valid.
The Senator Ahmed Makarfi faction of the Peoples Democratic
Party has won the first of the two preliminary issues for resolution by the
Supreme Court.
The judgment was ongoing as at press time.
The first issue resolved in favour of the Makarfi faction was
the preliminary objection by the Ali Modu Sheriff faction, holding that the
appeal by the Makarfi faction was valid.
The apex court also held that the suit filed by Makarfi at the
Federal High Court in Port Harcourt was not an abuse of court process as
wrongly held by the majority judgment of the Court of Appeal, also in Port
Harcourt
