Meanwhile, the PDP has dismisses media claims that the embattled national chairman of the party, Ali Modu-Sheriff was sacked by an Abuja High Court.

In a statement signed by the national secretary of the PDP, Adewale Oladipo, the party said the report is false and a misinterpretation of ruling of the court.

Oladipo said: “The court never gave any ruling ousting the national chairman.”

He said the court only heard and delivered judgment on a matter concerning some amendments in the party’s constitution.
