Makarfi: Don’t Scare away New Members with Crisis

By Onyebuchi Ezigbo in Abuja

The Chairman of the National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has asked feuding members of the party not to send wrong signals to other Nigerians itching to join the opposition party by refusing to end intra party quarrel.

Makarfi gave the charge Wednesday in Abuja while inaugurating the caretaker executives for Lagos and Kwara States.

He however expressed optimism that most of the crises are giving way and that normalcy is fast returning to the PDP.

“Anyone who wants to come around should come and join. The party is big enough to accommodate all. In fact, all we should be doing is to invite people to come and join the party but how can we do this if we continue to fight among ourselves? We will be sending the wrong message. However, I am glad that we are sending the right message now,” he said.

Makarfi told the states’ caretaker committees that theirs is a more difficult job of going to revive the party structure at the local level by establishing local government area and ward executives.
