I Wasn't Sacked, Court Judgement Has Nothing to Do With Me - Ali Modu Sheriff

 

PDP factional leader Ali Modu Sheriff has denied being sacked by an FCT High Court on Wednesday.

Professor Adewale Oladipo, the spokesman of the faction, in a statement said the court only delivered its judgement on certain amendments, and that it had nothing to do with the leadership of Sheriff.

“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.
