Sheriff threatens Anenih Return
Factional chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has said that the former chairman of
the board of trustees of the party, Chief Tony Anenih can only be readmitted
into the board if he answered the query issued to him for alleged anti party
activities.
Senator sheriff was responding to a letter written by the secretary of the
National caretaker committee, senator Ben Obi readmitting chief Anenih into the
Board of trustees party.
Senator Obi had in the letter
said: “With a view, to finally clearing all issues relating to this matter and
based on your request to meet with the current Caretaker Committee, and the
agreed meeting which took place on July 13, 2016, the Committee Chairman,
Senator Ahmed Makarfi, wishes to thank you for appearing before it to finally
clear all issues relating to this matter. “Having heard from you, and made some
consultations, the Caretaker Committee has reviewed the whole episode and
decided to withdraw the said letter from and by the defunct National Working
Committee”.
But in a statement signed by Hon.
Bernard Mikko on behalf of Sheriff, the faction noted that the “National
Working Committee (NWC) issued a query to Chief Tony Anenih in April 2015 as
part of disciplinary procedures for his anti party activities in Imo state
during the 2015 General elections in line with Article 57(4) of the PDP
Constitution 2012 (as amended).
Chief Anenih did not respond to
the query but chose to tender a letter of resignation as BoT member. Up till
date, the query remains unanswered and his resignation remains valid.
“Any effort to re-admit the chief will have to follow due process which is well known to all party members. If the chief is desirous of returning as member of the BoT, he should re-apply to the party, with his response to the pending query for consideration. Party members are hereby assured that no individual or group will be prejudiced in the enforcement of discipline and the application of the rule of law” he said.
