The Kaduna State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has affirmed that it would not obey the Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff-led National working committee of the party.
The party said it would remain loyal to the Ahmed Markafi-led committee, which it described as the authentic leader of the troubled party.
According to the party, its state executives and members were loyal and answerable to Sen. Ahmed Makarfi’s national caretaker committee despite the appeal court judgement.
The State PDP in its communique signed by Dr. John Ayuba, chairman of the drafting committee, after the part’s meeting in Kaduna, said they stood by the judgement of the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt which earlier approved the outcome of the 21st May, 2016 national convention.
The communiqué reads in parts: “The Kaduna State chapter of the PDP views the reinstatement of the former Sen. Sheriff led National working committee of the party by the appellate court as an act of impunity which is against the principles of the PDP constitution hence, an attempt to derail the democratic governance of our country.
“Members of the PDP in Kaduna State should not loose focus of where we are going as we know where we are coming from. We must face the current challenges headlong to ensure that we change the change come 2019.
“The PDP in Kaduna State remains united, strong, resolute, steadfast and solidly loyal and answerable to the national caretaker committee under the leadership of Sen. Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi.”
“The stakeholders and leaders of the party are enjoined to go back to their senatorial districts, local government areas and wards to convene meetings of the party and disseminate the foregoing to members. However, members are to remain calm, law abiding as they await the verdict of the Supreme Court on the matter,” the communiqué added.
