Supreme court ruling favours makarfi sheriff to step down

I think there may be some confusion here.

To clarify, the Supreme Court of Nigeria did not rule in favor of Makarfi and Sheriff to step down. In fact, the Supreme Court's ruling on July 12, 2017, upheld the judgment of the Court of Appeal, which had earlier sacked Ali Modu Sheriff as the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and replaced him with Ahmed Makarfi.

The Supreme Court's ruling was a major victory for Makarfi and the PDP, as it validated his leadership of the party. The court held that Sheriff's tenure as chairman had expired and that Makarfi was the rightful leader of the party.

So, to summarize, the Supreme Court did not rule in favor of Makarfi and Sheriff to step down. Instead, the court upheld Makarfi's leadership of the PDP and recognized him as the rightful chairman of the party.
