Ali Modu Sheriff
Speaking when a delegation of Abia chapter of the PDP from the 17
local government areas in the State paid him a solidarity visit in Abuja
on Sunday, the embattled former chairman of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has insisted that he will only bow
out on one condition.
According to DailyPost, the former Bornu State Governor insisted that the condition is that only if he is allowed “to
nominate ten members to join the other ten that would be nominated by
Senator Ahmed Makarfi to organize a fresh convention for the party.”
Sheriff said that he was ready to let go of his claim to the
chairmanship stool of the party in deference to the intervention by the
governors of Taraba and Gombe states but the conditions he gave must be
met.
He said his conditions for a united party were based on the
agreement reached at the reconciliation meeting held at the Taraba State
Government House under the chairmanship of Bayelsa State Governor,
Seriake Dickson and deputised by Senator Ibrahim Mantu.
Sheriff warned that unless the conditions he had set out were met, he would remain the national chairman of the party till 2018.
He explained: “Proposals were put forward in Taraba and
discussions cannot go forward until you handle it from the foundation.
In Taraba, all issues put forward was for Makarfi Caretaker Committee to
be dissolved.”
