Chief Olisah Metuh, a former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has come forward to dissociate himself from a court proceeding initiated by the factional Chairman of the party, Ali Modu-Sheriff in which he [Metuh] is listed as one of the plaintiffs.

Metuh in a statement released to its effect said the court action initiated by Sheriff and others seeking to stop the party from going ahead with the August 17 national convention is none of his concern.

The embattled politician who is currently undergoing trial for alleged involvement in corrupt practices said his main concern is his health and court cases.

In a statement released through his aide, Mr. Richard Ihediwa, in Abuja on Thursday, Metuh said: “For the avoidance of doubt, Metuh has taken the pains to consult those that went to court and has been reliably informed that his name was listed in error and which they have promised to rectify accordingly.

“It is pertinent to mention that Metuh has not attended any political meeting and/or programme since his chair accident at a function at the party’s national secretariat (of the PDP ) in April wherein he aggravated his spinal cord ailment.

“Our appeal to all and sundry therefore is that Metuh at this time should be left out of intra-party controversies. His only preoccupation now remains matters concerning his health and the extant court trial.”
