“People are very interested in our party and how the impasse will be settled, before the Port Harcourt convention was aborted by a court order,” Sheriff made the comment on Monday, July 18, 2016, during a meeting with a delegation of the party.
“Yes, we have met and issues were discussed but all the issues I put forward for them was for the Makarfi Caretaker Committee to resign. That is when peace would return to the party.
“If he resigns tomorrow I will ask the members of my NWC whose tenure still lasts till 2018, to resign including myself, and set up a convention committee in Abuja and put respected members of the party as members of the committee.

“In that convention, I will give away my mandate which does not expire until 2018, but for now I remain the national chairman of this party until 2018. If the leaders of our party felt that we can find a solution without exhausting the court, then I am open to it we can find a political solution," he added.
Sheriff was removed on May 21 but he has refused to vacate the position.
