National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ali Modu Sheriff has asked the party staff to resume work or face sanctions.
Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Bernard Mikko, in a statement said the workers are suppose to be apolitical and not take sides.
The workers had said they would stay away from work until the Supreme Court rules on the crisis.
But Mikko said that all members of staff must return to work immediately.
He said, “All staff of the PDP National Secretariat that have not resumed duties should immediately go back to work.
“This notice serves as another opportunity for the staff of the to take advantage of the magnanimity of the leadership of Sheriff and resume duties in line with the press statement issued after the meeting of the National Working Committee of Wednesday March 1, 2017 and signed by the National Secretary, Prof Wale Adewale.
“Failure to heed the call by the National Secretary will attract disciplinary procedures as the staff is deemed to be conversant with their terms and conditions of employment, particularly the PDP Establishment Manual that stipulates that they remain apolitical.”
