PDP state chairmen back Makarfi
Makarfi
The chairmen of state chapters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
on Monday threw their weight behind the Ahmed Makarfi led Caretaker
Committee.
The chairmen, who paid a solidarity visit to Makarfi in Abuja, said
they would continue to respect the decision of the May 21 national
convention of the party that set up the Makarfi committee.
Leader of the delegation, Alhaji Yahaya Mohammed said as delegates to
the convention, they were bound by the outcome of the convention,
adding that doing otherwise would amount to undermining the national
leadership of the party.
Mohammed, who is the chairman of the Federal Capital Territory
chapter, urged the factional national chairman, Alhaji Ali Modu Sheriff,
to respect the decision of the convention in the in the overall
interest of the party.
He maintained that the Port Harcourt convention was a product of the party’s constitution.
Responding, Makarfi said the crisis in the party was proof that the
PDP is worth struggling for and that the committee’s mandate was to
bring everybody on board.
According to him, dragging the crisis for too long could be injurious
to the health of the party, adding that the committee’s mandate did not
include dissolution of the existing state executives.
