The immediate past
spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, has asked
to be left out of the internal crisis rocking the party as he is currently
preoccupied with his failing health and extant court trial.
The former PDP
spokesman was reacting to media reports that he was one of the plaintiffs in a
case filed by the Ali Modu Sheriff faction seeking to stop the August 17
national convention of the party.
Chief Metuh, who is
standing trial for allegedly receiving N400 million from the Office of the
former National Security Adviser (ONSA), Sambo Dasuki and is battling to secure
a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja’s permission to travel abroad for a
much-needed spinal cord surgery, yesterday, said he was not part of the suit
and never instructed anyone to file any such suit on his behalf.
Speaking through his
special assistant, Richard Ihediwa, the former PDP national publicity secretary
said he had consulted those who went to court (Sheriff, Prof Wale Oladipo and
others) and had been reliably informed that his name was listed in error,
adding that they have promised to rectify it, accordingly.
