In a report by ThisDay Newspaper, Sheriff said he will leave the decision on whether to run for presidency on the party platform or not in the hands of God.

“Every position I occupy in life, God made it possible. I am a firm believer in the will of God. The issue of the presidency is not for me to decide. I told you I will not run for the chairmanship position, the rest we leave to God,” he said.

Stressing that he was not ready to race for the chairmanship of the party, Sheriff said members of his National Working Committee (NWC) whose tenures are still running still have the right to re-contest for offices at the party’s convention.

“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 anybody who believes that it is not political solution, they are on their own,” Sheriff stated.
