We Will Not Decamp From PDP – Sheriff

Sacked National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, has foreclosed leaving the party, and has appealed to loyal supporters not to decamp in the aftermath of the Supreme Court ruling that sacked him from office.

He expressed the hope that the party will be brought back to the grassroots, while insisting that it will work for the jailing of all corrupt politicians in the country.

In a statement by a member of his former executive, Bernard Mikko, he said he was neither in the country nor invited to the assemblage at Wadata Plaza on Monday.

According to him, he will address a World Press Conference (WPC) to throw light on the way forward after we have received and studied the full judgement of the Supreme Court and analysed its import on our democracy.

“We therefore appeal to all our loyal supporters nationwide not to defect as we are still committed to bringing the party back to the grassroots. We assure them that we will not only give them a voice, but they will also be heard. We will collaborate with global anti-corruption networks to bring all corrupt politicians in Nigeria to book, including PDP members having criminal cases bothering of dishonesty and malfeasance. Never again will corrupt politicians use the platform of our major political institutions to stardom. The party is for all and no one’s enterprise as government is conceived as an administrative state where dishonest politicians bask in democratic corruption.”
