AN Abuja High Court has sacked Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP. In a judgement on Wednesday, June 29, Justice Valentine Ashi nullified the 2014 PDP Constitution Amendment upon which Sheriff was appointed PDP chairman.

The court described the amendment as illegal and a violation of the Electoral Act and declared all action carried out with it including anybody parading as officer of the PDP as illegal.
