Others are six prominent women leaders; six youth leaders; six former ministers of and 12 other persons to be nominated by the National Chairman in consultation with stakeholders.

Responding to the recommendations, Sheriff said: “As we have received the recommendations, we will study it and make some amendments. And whatever amendments we make will be made known to Nigerians.”
