The court ruled that the decisions taken at the May 21, 2015 Port Harcourt National Convention of the party was null and void. Sheriff had earlier declared the convention postponed before the governors and some leaders of the party insisted that the convention must hold. The former governor of Borno State had hinged his decision on several court decisions, asking the party not to go ahead with the planned convention. However, after the court ruling, Fayose had addressed a press conference on Friday in Abuja, where he said Sheriff would not lead the party. Fayose, who is the governor of Ekiti State, spoke in his capacity as the chairman of the PDP Governors Forum. He said the faction of the party being led by Senator Ahmed Makarfi would appeal the judgement. His position was backed by that of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the party, Senator Walid Jibrin, who also appealed to loyal members of the PDP not to defect to other political parties because of the unfavourable ruling. However, Sheriff said it was wrong to assume that Fayose spoke the mind of other governors, saying that no other governor was at the briefing. His Words: “The judgement of the Port Harcourt Court of Appeal on Friday, does not call for merriment or mourning. In my candid view, there was no victor and no vanquished. “I see the judgement as a golden opportunity for a sincere renewal of our sense of unity and fraternity. No doubt, we have come a long and tortuous road, wherein some of us have been bruised or outrightly wounded and are hurt. I understand also, that for some of us, our ego has been agitated. “Yet, I dare say that we can put all of that behind us and come together with one accord and move our great party, the Peoples‘ Democratic Party forward. “Let me use this auspicious opportunity to assure all our party faithful, both the mighty and the weak, the young and old, that on my part I am ready and willing to work in any capacity that that can bring lasting peace to our party.
