Markafi Committee is illegal, unconstitutional – Sheriff

Factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has maintained that the Senator Ahmed Makarfi led Caretaker Committee is an illegal body and that he cannot recognize it.

Sheriff, in a statement issued by his Media Aide, Mallam Inuwa Bwala, noted that there is nothing like caretaker committee for the party at the national level, “Senator Ahmed Makarfi is an illegal body and cannot organise the convention of the party.”

He faulted the BoT for recognising the caretaker committee and accused them of taking sides in the party crisis, which he said involved two sides within the same party.

His words, “there is no provision for a caretaker at the national level in the PDP constitution.

“A competent court has pronounced it (the caretaker committee) as illegal, while affirming Sheriff as the chairman.

“Because of these, references should not even be made to the caretaker committee in looking for solutions to the PDP crisis.”

He however advised the BoT not allow themselves to be dragged into fighting a war which would benefit individuals.
