“Every position I have occupied in life, God made it possible. I am a firm believer in the will of God. I told you I will not run for the Chairmanship position, the rest we leave to God.”
The National Chairman said as soon as the party concludes its ongoing consultation, it will set up a Convention Committee.
He stated that as part of its consultation, it is meeting with the party’s national ex-officio members from the 36 States, while he is talking with Lawmakers from the National Assembly and State Assemblies, as part of the political solution recommended by the Governor Seriake Dickson-led Committee.
According to Sheriff, he has also commenced talks with the Board of Trustees through its Chairman, Senator Walid Jubril, who promised to get back to him, in order for them to schedule a formal meeting with the members.
“Everywhere in our party, we are working across the board; everybody is working for the party to come back to its position in 1999. We are for peace and that does not mean that we are afraid of anybody; we will not be relenting, we need our party back in power, and we will carry everybody along that mean well for PDP.
“I assure you that PDP will not be destroyed; PDP is a creation of God, and cannot be destroyed by anybody. We are on course, and we will go as planned. For everybody that believe that it is not political solution, they are on their own,” Sheriff stated.
