[Channels Television] Factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sen. Ali-Modu Sheriff, on Monday gave conditions that must be met by the Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee for peace to reign.
He said the only condition for peace to reign in the party is if the caretaker committee led by Senator Ahmed Makarfi resign, because there is no place for the committee in the party’s constitution, therefore should be dissolved.
He stated this in Abuja while hosting a delegation of party members from the 17 local governments in Abia State.
Senator Sheriff had earlier at a peace meeting organised to resolve the crisis in the party ruled out the possibility of truce outside the court verdict, insisting the committee must go.
Instead, he proposed that he should be allowed to nominate a chairman, and ten persons into the new convention committee.
“People are very interested in our party and how the impasse will be settled before the Port Harcourt convention which was aborted by a court order,” he said.
“Yes, we have met and issues were discussed but all the issues I put forward for them was for the Makarfi-led caretaker committee to resign.
“It is an aberration as far as our party constitution is concern. I told them that I am not ready to be a permanent chairman but I want the party to be placed in proper stead.
“If he resigns tomorrow, I will ask the members of my NWC whose tenure still lasts to 2018, including myself, to set up a convention committee in Abuja and put respected members into the committee.
“In that convention, I will give away my mandate, which does not expire until 2018.
“If the leaders of our party feel that we can find a solution without exhausting the court process, then I am open to it; we can find a political solution.
“I have given the people the opportunity to see that Sheriff is not the problem. The problem is that some people want to make the party their personal property and that will not happen under Sheriff.”, he said.
