Sheriff Working With Oshiomhole Against PDP — Orbih

Edo State chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Dan Orbih, has said that a hundred Modu Sheriffs cannot suspend him and his executive from performing their functions as they were duly elected by the party faithful in the state.

Orbih was reacting yesterday in Benin to a statement credited to Sheriff in which he supposed suspended him and his executive from performing the activities of the party for three months.

He said, “For us in Edo state we want to ignore the statement from Sheriff because to me I see his statement talking of the suspension of a duly elected State Executive Council as the ranting of a sinking former acting National chairman.

“For us in Edo state, we have decided to ignore Sheriff because he was never an elected chairman of the party and that at some point, he was appointed as acting National chairman for three months and at the expiration of the three months, it was just natural that he should pack his load and go home.

But he is now holding on as if everything in his life depends on this position.

“Let me use this opportunity to say that Sheriff from all indications is working with Governor Adams Oshiomhole and APC in Edo State to see how they can cause disaffection among the members of our party.

Let me say this; no amount of efforts by Sheriff and his co-travelers will distract us from our mission to rescue the state from the clutches of the deceitful APC government of Adams Oshiomhole”
