PDP Will Rescue Nigeria From Bad Governance – Makarfi

By Toba Adedeji

The National Caretaker Committee Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed Makarfi, says the party is the only veritable alternative to rescuing the country from its present hard time ocassioned by the All Progressives Congress bad governance.

Makarfi said this in Ede, State of Osun on Wednesday at the award of scholarship to indigent students from Osun West Senatorial District by Senator Ademola Adeleke as part of his election promises.

Adeleke who defected to Peoples Democratic Party from the All Progressives Congress during the build up to July 8 Osun west senatorial election in the state has since become a rallying point for the divided opposition party.

According to Makarfi, “With the PDP. We are going to have good-time governance under rain under shine. No doubt we had our problems but we will not run away from it.

” What we have now is a government and a party of denial. Anything you say even when they know is the truth, they will still find excuses , they will never accept that they erred. When you don’t accept that you erred, there is no way will correct the mistakes for the benefit of the people. In PDP, we err and we accept it.

“Nigeria has suffered enough and God will emancipate Nigerians by returning the PDP to power both at the Federal and at the state levels.”

Makarfi expressed happiness towards the promise of scholarship kept by Senator Ademola Adeleke adding that PDP would be fulfilling every promise made to Nigerians.

Markarfi urged members of the PDP, who had defected to return home while also appealing to those, who were yet to join the party to do so and join them to rescue Nigeria from suffering.

While speaking at the event, Sen. Adeleke appealed to PDP in Osun to close ranks and work together for a common goal as the 2018 governorship election in the state is drawing closer.

He said, ” This is the greatest challenge, that all well meaning members of the PDP in the state, should saddle themselves with by closing ranks with a view to presenting a credible and sellable candidate that will effortlessly win the governorship election and take over the Bola Ige House, Abere.

“Let us, as a party avoid rancour, mudslinging, pull him down syndrome and other vices, that may endanger, God forbid, our chances of winning the 2018 governorship election.”

Adeleke appealed to PDP leaders who were yet to sheath their swords to do so and work for the party to win the poll and bring succor to the people of Osun State
