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.
