The embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Ali modu Sheriff, has said the party’s governorship primary in Edo State is illegal.
Sheriff voided the primary, which was held on Monday by the Ahmed Makarfi-led caretaker committee, saying it was a contraption by an “illegal” caretaker committee.
The former Borno State governor urged party members to disregard the primary.
A letter on the primary by Sheriff and PDP National Secretary, Prof Wale Oladipo, was addressed to the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The duo urged INEC to avoid legitimising the Edo primary, saying the party would conduct a proper primary to nominate a candidate.
Sheriff released a scheduled congress in the state to between June 23 and 29 with the inauguration of a congress committee scheduled for Thursday.
The embattled chairman warned the party’s state chapter chairmen and other officers to desist from holding meetings with the Makarfi committee.
He added that such actions would attract sanctions. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
