However in a swift reaction to this development, the Ahmed Makarfi-led caretaker committee of the party, released a statement describing as unlawful the taking over of the party's national secretariat by Sheriff and his team. The statement reads...
Senator
Ali Modu Sheriff should be held responsible for any lose of party
document and property. We say this because the keys to the secretariat
is with the Board of Trustees (BoT) and we’ve checked with them, and can
confirm that the keys were not handed over to Sheriff or any of his
followers.
3. The implication of this is that, Senator Sheriff broke into the National
Secretariat which is a criminal offence. We also expected that
Modu-Sheriff should have waited for the conclusion of the Appeal we
filed at the Supreme Court before he forced himself in just like we held
on when we got the FHC Court judgment favouring us last year.
4.
We condemn his action in totality and we view it as an affront on the
rule of law. Given his act of illegality, we wish to state clearly that
he should be held responsible for any loss of documents or damage to the
property within the Party Secretariat.
5.
The administrative staff as accounting officers were not around to see
the event happen, and as the custodians of the property of the party,
they refused to participate in the illegal entry made by Ali
Modu-Sheriff.
6. His action is provocative
and is capable of causing another round of crisis in the party. We
advise him in his own interest, to vacate the secretariat immediately.
7.
Finally, we also call on authority of the Nigerian Police to prevent
chaos by flushing Ali Modu-Sheriff and his team out of the PDP
secretariat and let all parties wait for the judgment of the Supreme
Court which is the highest court in the land.
