The embattled former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has said that he can only let go of his claim to the chairmanship of the party only if he is allowed to nominate ten members to join the other ten that would be nominated by Senator Ahmed Makarfi to organize a fresh convention for the party.

Speaking when of a delegation of Abia chapter of the PDP from the 17 local governments paid him a solidarity visit in Abuja, Sheriff said he was ready to let go of his claim to the chairmanship of the party in deference to the intervention by the governors of Taraba and Gombe states but the Conditions that he gave must be met.

According to Sheriff, the convention of the party being proposed must be held in Abuja with him and the national caretaker committee headed by Senator Makarfi nominating ten members each to conduct the convention.
