Governors of the Peoples Democratic Party and members of its Board of Trustees on Friday in Abuja, renewed their appeal to the factional National Chairman of the party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, to allow the PDP hold its national convention without legal bottlenecks.
Three governors, Ayodele Fayose (Ekiti), Nyesom Wike (Rivers) and Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe), met with Sheriff at Gombe Governor’s Lodge in Abuja on Friday, pleading with him to withdraw all his cases against the party.
However, sources at the meeting said Sheriff remained adamant, insisting that his conditions be met before he could yield to their demand.
At the meeting with the governors, it was gathered that Sheriff insisted that Wike must not head the party’s National Convention Planning Committee, the convention be brought to Abuja and that he must be allowed to head the party that would midwife the convention.
Besides, Sheriff also insisted that the National Caretaker Committee of the party headed by Sen. Ahmed Makarfi be disbanded immediately and people be appointed into the National Working Committee.
