The disputed Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), Ali Modu Sheriff has commended the Justice Okon Abang ruling
nullifying a Port Harcourt ruling that recognised the party’s caretaker
committee.
Sheriff told journalists in Abuja on Friday that he got an
order stopping the party’s national convention in Port Harcourt on Aug.
17.
Commending the ruling, Sheriff said the order issued by
Justice Abang was a demonstration of the existence of some fine judges
in Nigeria.
He also called on the Nigeria Judicial Council (NJC) to
remove the few erring judges who, he said, were tarnishing the image of
the judiciary.
Sheriff said the ruling of the court had boosted his
desire to wipe out impunity even as he announced his readiness to take
the PDP to its original owners at the grass roots level.
Sheriff also disclosed that he would convene an expanded
caucus meeting of the PDP which he said would comprise the Board of
Trustees, National Assembly Caucus and state chairmen to chart the next
line of action.
However, the caretaker committee had reacted and said the
court ruling was misinterpreted as it did not set aside the Port
Harcourt ruling that instituted the committee.
