The National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff, has urged the Prof. Jerry Gana-led Strategy Review and Inter-Party Affairs Committee to stop speaking for the party.

Cairo Ojuogbo, who spoke on behalf of Sheriff at a news conference in Abuja on Monday, Sheriff described the Gana-led committee as “illegal”.

Speaking on Gana’s report, Ojuogbo said it the committee had no right to suggest the expulsion of members of the Sheriff faction.

“Prof. Jerry Gana going round the country on behalf of the PDP is unacceptable to the party.

“I have the report of Gana here where he recommended that all members of the Sheriff group should be suspended from the party.

“We find it very uncomfortable that a person of Jerry Gana’s standing, if actually he wants to help the party as at this time of crisis, would recommend that a faction or members of the party should be expelled for their political beliefs.

“That is very unbecoming of a man of Gana’s status. So, we take very serious views to his going round as whatever committee he calls himself.

“The committee was not set up by the party and we are giving notice that forthwith, he should discontinue with it,’’ he said.
