Ali Modu Sheriff
The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal, on Thursday, adjourned
sine-die (indefinitely), hearing on the leadership crisis rocking the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
A three-man panel of Justices of the appellate court led by Justice
Ibrahim Saulawa suspended hearing on the matter to await the outcome of
a related case pending before the Port Harcourt Division of the Court.
The decision followed a motion that was filed by the Ali Modu
Sheriff faction of the party. The group had through their counsel, Chief
Akin Olujinmi, SAN, urged the appellate court panel to temporarily
hands-off the suit filed by the Senator Ahmed Markafi-led faction of the
party.
They based their request on the fact that the court in Port
Harcourt had already heard the matter before it and reserved its
judgment.
The three pending appeals that were put on hold by the Justice
Saulawa-led panel on Thursday were marked CA/A/402/2016; CA/A/402A/2016
and CA/A/402D/M/2016. The appellants are basically challenging a verdict
that Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja delivered on
June 30, which recognised Sheriff as National Chairman of the Party.
Justice Abang had in the said judgement, maintained that Sheriff
has the authority to take decisions for the party, including briefing of
lawyers to represent the interest of the PDP in court. Whereas the
Sheriff-led faction was in the three appeals, sued as the 1st and 2nd
respondents in the appeal by two chieftains of the party in Ondo and Edo
states, Chief Benson Akingboye and Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma, respectively.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, was cited as the 3rd respondent in the three appeals.
