A
High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja on Wednesday
sacked Ali Modu Sheriff as Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Justice Valentine Ashi ?held that
Sheriff’s ascension to office was unlawful as it was based on amended
provision of the PDP ?Constitution said to be illegally introduced in
December 2014.
?Though the court did not specifically
mention Sheriff’s name, it made an order restraining all persons who
became national officers of the party by virtue of the amended Article
47, Rule 6 of the party’s constitution, from further parading themselves
in the said capacities.
The judge nullified the amendment of the
said provision which he ruled was done in violation of mandatory
provisions of Article 66 (2) and (3) of the party’s constitution.
