The former
caretaker Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ahmed Makarfi, has warned
the party to be careful about the type of persons it accepts back into the
party.
The former
Kaduna State governor spoke on Friday in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, during
a visit to the party’s secretariat in continuation of his nationwide tour to
solicit support for his presidential ambition.
Makarfi said
that those who left the party when things were rough and now returning because
they could not realise their ambitions elsewhere, should not be trusted with
too much responsibility.
He said, “We
must be careful whom we admit back into the party so as not to repeat the
mistake of the past.”
He warned
against a repeat of the past where crisis engulfed the party immediately it
lost the last presidential election.
Makarfi also
warned those clamouring for restructuring to be careful so as not to hand over
the responsibility of restructuring to those who should not be trusted with
power.
While
wishing him well in his presidential bid, the state party Chairman, Sam Uhuotu,
said that Makarfi had proved his worth as a good leader with the way he handled
the crisis in the PDP when he was the caretaker chairman.
