The three judges presiding over the case in a unanimous decision agreed that the Modu Sheriff is the chairman of the PDP.

This judgement will bring an end the leadership crisis rocking the main opposition party, as both factional chairmen Senators Ahmed Makarfi and Ali Modu Sheriff, have both laid claim to be the authentic representative of the party.

Makarfi and Sheriff have recorded judgment in many courts in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, but today’s judgment has put an end to the crisis, Daily Trust reports.

Prior to the February 17 judgement, both chieftains of the party expressed readiness to abide by the outcome of the Appeal Court verdict with a view to bringing lasting peace in the party.
