Deposed chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party,PDP, Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff says he’s still in
shock over Wednesday’s Supreme Court judgment which removed him
from office.
The sacked National Chairman of the PDP
on Thursday packed out of the party’s national secretariat in Abuja
following his defeat at the Supreme Court.
Sheriff, however, said that he was
still in shock at the judgment which removed him from office.
In a statement by the erstwhile
spokesman of his faction, Bernard Mikko, Sheriff said that he was
still waiting for his lawyers to brief him on the details of the
judgment.
“We received with shock the judgment
of the Supreme Court on the leadership of the PDP. Though we still
await the full written judgment of the highest court from our lawyers
who would fully brief us on the details of the judgment; in the
interim, we ask all members and supporters to remain steadfast in
prayers for Nigeria.
“Meanwhile, we would continue with
our avowed demands that the party must be given back to the owners at
the grassroots to always elect their party officials, and those to
contest elections for them at all levels. Internal democracy must be
institutionalised in the party,” the statement said.
Sheriff’s belongings were taken away
from the Wadata Plaza, yesterday, in a navy blue police pick up van.
