Senator
Ali Modu Sheriff, the National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP),
has advised Mr Dayo Adeyeye, the
Publicity Secretary of the party’s National Caretaker Committee, to stop parading himself as spokesman of the
PDP .
In
a statement released by acting Publicity Secretary, Mr Benard Mikko, on Sunday
in Abuja, Sheriff said Adeyeye could not speak for the PDP or use its logo and
franchise without the authority and permission of the national leadership of
the party.
He
condemned what he described as “desperation of Adeyeye”, at a time the efforts
of the Peace and Reconciliation Committee of the party under the chairmanship
of Gov. Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa state was ongoing.
“We
appeal to all party faithful, loyal party members and strategic stakeholders to
remain calm and committed to the PDP.
“They
should continue to have faith in the Peace and Reconciliation report as the
panacea for a united and cohesive party waiting for your mandate to tackle the
developmental deficits and other adverse conditions we now face in
Nigeria,”Sheriff said.
Adeyeye,
in a statement issued on behalf of the National Caretaker Committee on Saturday
had said that the claim of Mikko as a
member of PDP National Working Committee (NWC) was illegal.
Adeyeye
said the claim was contrary to the judgment by the Appeal Court on February 14
which ordered reversal to status quo ante May 21, 2016.
“The
continued parade of Dr Cairo Ojougboh as Deputy National Chairman and Bernard Mikko as Acting National Publicity
Secretary of the PDP are acts of impunity and will be challenged in court.
“It
is a known fact that no meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) nor
National Executive Committee (NEC) was held to appoint these men nor confirm
them in such positions, respectively,” Adeyeye said
