Sheriff working with Oshiomole against PDP

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”
