In an interview with Daily
Trust, Makarfi said those already linking PDP issues to 2019 were right.
Senator Ahmed Makarfi,
chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has
accused factional chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff of positioning himself as
presidential candidate of the party for 2019.
“It was known to the
majority of the people that the former chairman, Modu Sheriff, assumed he was
already the presidential candidate of the PDP and offering the position of
running mate to different governors.
“We want to be allowed to
finish this job within three months and go. So where is the hidden agenda here?
Nobody has heard us campaign for any individual to succeed us. There is
absolutely no hidden agenda for the Caretaker Committee. We want people to
elect their national officers freely”, he said.
On what leaders of the
party are currently doing to bring peace, he said: “They have been trying to
make Sheriff see reasons why there should be peace. And whatever they come out
with in the spirit of peace, even if it means that we vacate our positions, we
will do so.”
Makarfi said although
external forces cannot be ruled out in the ongoing PDP saga, that had not been
confirmed yet.
“I have to be honest and
sincere; I have not seen the evidence of government as an entity. Maybe some
individuals from the party in power are interfering, purely for local
interests. We have seen traces of that”, he stated.
How can Sheriff assume such stupidity? Is over
