The National Chairman of the party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, said this at a news conference on Thursday in Abuja.
Sheriff said the NWC believed that the recommendations of the committee headed by the Bayelsa State Governor, Sariake Dickson, met the requirements for the conduct of national convention and reconciliation procedures
The governor said he was aware that well over $1 million had been provided by the All Progressives Congress to fund the convention being planned by the Sheriff group, while adequate security will also be provided by the security agencies that are now more like part of the ruling party at the federal level.
N162.8 million was said to have been withdrawn from the account into which the money was paid in one day
