Although the report did not state who the governors are, it claimed that they are openly engaged with the Sheriff leadership of the party.
This is just as reports emerged that the national chairman of the party has applied to the Supreme Court seeking to stop the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led faction from using the name of the party to challenge the ruling of the Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt which affirmed him as the authentic chairman of the party.
Vanguard reports that in a motion for discontinuance filed by Sheriff and Professor Wale Oladipo, secretary of the party, they argued that the Makarfi faction did not have the legal ground for such appeal.
Sheriff therefore applied for the withdrawal of an appeal filed in the name of the party by the Makarfi’s faction with number SC.133/2017 on February 27, 2017.
