Appeal Court Affirms Sheriff As PDP National Chairman

Appeal Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers state has affirmed Ali Modu Sheriff As authentic chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Daily trust gathered that the three judges of the court in a unanimous decision on Friday agreed that Modu Sheriff is the chairman of the PDP. 

Recall that a Federal High Court in Port Harcourt had last year gave legitimacy to Makarfi as the chairman of the party, while another court of coordinate jurisdiction in Abuja, headed by Justice Okon Abang, had ruled that Sheriff should be recognised as the chairman.

The PDP has not been able to play the role of leading opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) because of the crisis ravaging it from within.
