We Are In Support of Sheriff-Cross River PDP

The state Chairman of the PDP, Ntufam Edim-Inok Edim announced this in a statement that was signed by him and made available to newsmen in Calabar, earlier in the week.

The statement reads  “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Cross River State Chapter supports Senator Ali Modu Sherriff led executive.

“This is in line with the Appeal Court’s judgment delivered in Port Harcourt in favor of Senator                                                                                                                     

“This statement also refutes the earlier report credited to the state publicity secretary of the party.

“As law abiding citizens, we are committed to the rule of law and also respect court decisions at all stages.”

Earlier on, Egbong Odama, the State Publicity Secretary of the PDP had written a widely reported statement declaring the support of the state branch of the party for the Makarfi faction of the PDP.

But this did not go down well with the party chairman who responded the following day clarifying the stands of the state chapter of the party.
