PDP Crisis: Stop representing us – Sheriff warns Jerry Gana

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Chairman, Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff, on Monday warned the Prof. Jerry Gana-led Strategy Review and Inter-Party Affairs Committee to desist from representing the party.

Represented by his National Deputy Chairman, Cairo Ojougbo, at a press conference in Abuja, Sheriff described the Strategy Review and Inter-Party Affairs committee as “illegal”.

Sheriff stated that the report of the committee would not be useful in the ongoing effort at re-positioning the party.

According to the former Borno State Governor, “Prof. Jerry Gana going round the country on behalf of the PDP is unacceptable to the party.

“I have the report of Gana here where he recommended that all members of the Sheriff group should be suspended from the party.

“We find it very uncomfortable that a person of Jerry Gana’s standing, if actually he wants to help the party as at this time of crisis, would recommend that a faction or members of the party should be expelled for their political beliefs.

“That is very unbecoming of a man of Gana’s status. So, we take very serious views to his going round as whatever committee he calls himself.

“The committee was not set up by the party and we are giving notice that forthwith, he should discontinue with it.”
