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”
