Sacked chairman of the PDP,\u00a0 Ali Modu -Sheriff , has described as illegal,\u00a0 his removal,\u00a0 and constitution of a caretaker committee.<\/p>\n

His spokesman,\u00a0 Inuwa Bwala ,who spoke with pointblanknews.com<\/a> on telephone,\u00a0 said his boss called for postponement because of the strings of court injunctions, and that he remained chairman.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

According to him, there were about five injunctions,\u00a0 so they had no choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bwala who spoke from Port Harcourt,\u00a0 venue of the botched convention, said all the state chapters,\u00a0 Senators,\u00a0 and Governors of Taraba,\u00a0 Gombe and Bayelsa left the convention ground with Modu-Sheriff.<\/p>\n

“We have left the venue, because of the court injunctions,\u00a0 we are law abiding, the constitution of caretaker committee is not recognized by our constitution,\u00a0 so it is illegal”<\/p>\n

“We left with the senators,\u00a0 except Deputy Senate President,\u00a0 the northern\u00a0 state chapters are with us, governors of Gombe,\u00a0 Taraba,\u00a0 Bayelsa are with us”
\n\u201cThe convention was cancelled, and it remains cancelled until such a time the matters in court are resolved, for us to convene another national convention.\u201d he said<\/p>\n

” Modu\u00a0 Sheriff remained the national chairman of the PDP, going by the pronouncement of the court”.<\/p>\n

“The court had said the office of the chairman would become vacant only in 2018, and that is parts of the reasons we shelved the convention,\u201d said Bwala.<\/p>\n

He said Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, and the Senate Minority Leader, Godwill Akpabio,\u00a0 wanted to go on with the convention even with the subsisting court orders, but we said no”<\/p>\n

Pointblanknews.com gathered that Wike had prevailed on those present to allow Modu Sheriff head the caretaker committee but the suggestion was rejected.
\nThe motion to sack Mr. Sheriff was moved at the convention by Mr. Akpabio, at the Port Harcourt Civic Centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
