The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna at its Executive
Committee meeting on Friday informally endorsed former Caretaker Committee
Chairman of the party, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, to run for presidency come 2019.
The party’s loyalists, who filled the conference hall at the state
Secretariat in Kawo, Kaduna, to capacity during the first of its kind meeting
of recent, expressed optimism that Makarfi was the right man for the job.
The immediate past governor of the state, Dr. Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, who was the
first to address his party’s members asked them, if they would support Makarfi
for President and a thunderous response of ‘Nigeria sai Makarfi’ rented the air
in affirmative.
But when the meeting was over, Makarfi himself declined to talk to
the press as he walked down the hall in a company of other party’s big wigs in
the state.
Should he agree to contest as been suggested to him, he would be
facing other top contenders, including former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar, who for now, seems like the most popular candidate.
