Senator Ahmed Makarfi has won his position as chairman of the caretaker committee of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The Supreme Court in Abuja affirmed the PDP national convention in Port Harcourt that established Makarfi’s committee and described the process that led to it as correct and in line with the Party’s Constitution.
It consequently sacked Ali Modu Sheriff and members of his National Working Committee from the leadership of the Party.

In a landmark judgment, the apex court held that Markafi remains the authentic National Chairman of PDP and consequently sacked Sheriff.
The Supreme Court also ordered Sheriff to vacate the National Secretariat of the party.
PDP has been experiencing leadership crisis since it lost the 2015 presidential election.
The crisis, however, heightened earlier in the year when an Appeal Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State affirmed Sheriff as the National Chairman of the party while sacking the Makarfi’s Caretaker Committee.
