The Ahmed Makarfi led caretaker committee of PDP has called on the
Inspector General of Police, Idris Ibrahim, to immediately arrest the
former Chairman of the party, Ali Modu Sheriff. A statement signed by
the committee’s spokesperson, Dayo Adeyeye, says the party is shocked at
the flagrant disobedience of court orders sacking him from office.
“We are shocked at the attitude of the former national chairman of our
great party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff who has become an authority in the
country with flagrant disobedience of the Nigerian constitution, the
Electoral Act and the PDP constitution without being arrested or
detained by security agencies. Is he above the law? If we may ask”.
Justice Abdullah Mohammed Liman’s judgment on Monday was superior to all
other court rulings, ex-parte orders or interlocutory injunctions
procured by Senator Sheriff and his co-travellers, adding that his
reliance on Justice Okon Abang’s ruling of June 30 was an attempt to
confuse unsuspecting members of the public as he had done in previous
times. You will recall that Senator Sheriff in collaboration with some
APC governors and members invaded our party secretariat on Monday June
13, 2016 laying claims to a non-existing court order; and he has started
again after a competent court issued a judgment upholding the decision
of our national convention in Port Harcourt, Rivers state which
constituted the PDP national caretaker committee to pilot the affairs of
the party for 90 days, and to conduct another convention that will
elect new officers of the party. Following this, we are calling on the
police to do the needful by arresting Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, his
co-travellers and Hon Matthew Iduoriyekemwen for disobeying court
judgment”.
