The crisis in the party deepened after the national convention which held in Port-Harcourt on Saturday, May 21, 2016, sacked Sheriff.
According to Vanguard, the former NWC members said “we accept without equivocations all decisions and resolutions of the national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party held at Port Harcourt on the 21st of May, 2016.”
Governor Nyesom Wike, who spoke to newsmen after the Port-Harcourt convention, said the removal of Sheriff was in the best interest of the PDP.
