– The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is warning its members to abstain from having anything to do with Ali Modu Sheriff

– Sheriff inaugurated a congress committee for the conduct of a congress in Edo state for the forthcoming governorship election in the state

– The party warned that any of its members that agrees to serve in any committee would be culpable of anti-party activity and sanctioned

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described ousted chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff, as a mole in the party warning members not to have anything to do with him.

The party said this on Thursday in reaction to a committee inauguration carried out by Sheriff.

Sheriff, who insists he remains the party chairman, inaugurated a congress committee for the conduct of a congress in Edo state for the forthcoming governorship election in the state after rejecting the congress conducted by the committee led by Ahmed Makarfi which produced Ize Iyamu as candidate.

Sheriff’s committee chaired by Senator Hope Uzodinma was inaugurated in former chairman’s private office in the Maitama area of Abuja and attended by some of his loyalists including the former secretary, Professor Wale Oladipo, Dr Cairo Ojuogboh, Senator Buruji Kashamu and others.

But the head of publicity of the party, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, said the embattled former senator did not mean well for the party.

Vanguard reports that he also warned that any member of the party that agrees to serve in any committee would be culpable of anti-party activity and sanctioned accordingly.

“It is now very clear that Ali Modu Sheriff is working very hard for the enemies of our great party.

“First the Edo primaries and all the processes leading to it were properly conducted, monitored and observed by INEC.
