Ex-PDP Ministers Insist Sheriff Must Go

It is not over yet for the
embattled new National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Modu Ali Sheriff as some members of the PDP Ministers Forum may go to court to seek an injunction restraining him from leading the party.
The ex-ministers who described Sheriff’s election and ratification by the National Executive Committee as illegal,  asked Sheriff to step down latest by March 28.
It was learnt that some of the ex-ministers may opt  for court action following the refusal of some organs of the party to limit Sheriff’s mandate to the completion of the tenure of ex-National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu.
These aggrieved members have also resolved to ask the court to stop Sheriff from being the National Chairman of PDP beyond March 28.
“We will file our application in court any moment from now”, a source said.
In a communiqué at the end of their session on Tuesday, the ex-ministers rejected the three-month tenure given Sheriff by some organs of the party.
The communiqué, which was signed by Kabiru Tanimu Turaki(SAN) and Chief Ojo Maduekwe, rejected the choice of Sheriff as the PDP National Chairman for “lack of transparency and internal democracy in the process.
Meanwhile, an Osun State Based group, Osun Ibile Forum, has warned Sheriff over his threat against former Aviation Minister , Chief Femi Fani-Kayode.
In a statement signed by its Coordinator, Prince  Adeoluwa Adesegun, the group said Chief Fani-Kayode’s statement on Boko Haram was already in public domain.
The group queried why Sheriff should issue personal warning on an issue already of public knowledge.
