Senator Ahmed Muhammed Makarfi was born on the 8th of August 1956 in Makarfi, the headquarters of Makarfi Local Government Area of Kaduna state.

EDUCATION
Young Ahmed started his early quest for knowledge with the usual Quranic education before attending the L.E.A. Primary School Makarfi from 1965 to 1973. In October 1973, he proceeded to the famous Federal Government College Enugu in the old Eastern Nigeria where he obtained his West African School Certificate (Division One) in 1978. His decision to choose Enugu over other Federal Government Colleges in Nigeria was a product of perceptiveness, curiosity as well as exploratory instinct for which he has been known right from childhood. His reasons for opting for Enugu were twofold; his respect and admiration for the enterprising nature of the Igbos he came across in his village even at such a young age, as well as his deep intellectual curiosity to interrogate and discover for himself truths, facts and reasons why brothers would bear arms against their own brothers, the civil war having just ended only three years earlier. It was while in secondary school in Enugu that young Ahmed began to exhibit leadership qualities, deep sense of fairness, equity and justice that have remained with him till today.

In 1978, Ahmed Makarfi proceeded to the School of Basic Studies, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria where he undertook his IJMB. He thereafter enrolled for a Bachelor’s of Science (BSc) in Accounting in the same institution and graduated in 1982 with a Bachelor’s degree of Science (BSc) in Accounting. He did his mandatory National Youth Service Scheme with the Kano State Hotels Management Board.

To enrich his banking career in 1985 he enrolled for and obtained a Master of Science degree in Accounting and Finance in 1987 from the Institute of Administration, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Kaduna State.

Soon after service, young Ahmed had his first employment with the Nigeria Universal Bank, where within ten years he rose to the position of Assistant General Manager.

PUBLIC SERVICE
Young Makarfi at age 38 and in recognition of his brilliance and high ethical value, he was, in 1994 appointed into the Kaduna State Executive Council where he served as the Honorable Commissioner for Finance and Economic Planning, a position he held until 1997. During his time as the Honorable Commissioner for Finance and Economic Planning between 1994 and 1997, he consistently insisted and ensured greater accountability and transparency in the handling of public finances. In the same time period, he served in various capacities, notably as the Chairman Kaduna State finance and general Purpose Committee, Chairman, Kaduna Plan Implementation Committee, Chairman, Kachia Ginger Company Ltd and Acting Chairman, Nigeria Universal Bank Ltd.

Upon return of democracy in 1998, Makarfi, a founding member of Peoples Democratic Party successfully ran for Governorship of Kaduna state at the young age of 43. His exceptional performance as Governor led to his landslide reelection in 2003. In 2007, Makarfi was once again sent by the people of Kaduna North Senatorial district to represent them at the red chamber of the National Assembly. His impressive representation gifted him another term in 2011 which climaxed in 2015.

In May 2016, the Peoples Democratic Party National Convention appointed him to lead the transition period of the party as the National Chairman of National Caretaker Committee of the party. A role that had him lead the party through its turbulent times and successfully navigated by putting the party back on track. His successful handling of the December 2017 National Convention that saw to the election of new leaders remains a milestone in the party's history.

PRIVATE SERVICE
Senator Ahmed Makarfi achieved monumental successes in the private sector as a private businessman. He was the Chairman of several companies including CANES Industry and General Merchants Ltd, Makarfi Motors and Transport Ltd, Hamdala Community Bank Ltd and Makarfi Farms Ltd to mention a few.

You know Buhari is winning the 2019 election. No doubt.! I heard with my left ear that Modu Sheriff is dumping the sinking ship today. PDP has no candidate that can match Buhari.!

Would Makarfi ever become president? That's a big question.

Is he a Saint?

When people don't read they tend to forget history easily.

Anyone is free to contest but I laugh out loud at people touting Markarfi You can continously collect stipends and launder his image online but the truth would still remain the truth.

Same guy that was Governor in Kaduna and was never home because of one health challenge or the other. He was widely known as the "missing governor" to the point that he wasn't around all through the religious and sectional crisis that rocked Kaduna in the early 2000s that led to the death of thousands of people and destruction of properties. Not a single response from the state govt because the governor was MIA. Had to take OBJ deploying soldiers after weeks when thousands had already been killed and maimed before things normalized a bit. Till today Kaduna which used to be that shinning light of industrialization and multi ethnicity has not still yet recovered from that impunity as most who were the engine to the economy were outsiders and 90% never ever returned.

I don't need to give links or stats as i was a personal witness to such. I may have been young but the measles i suffered during that crisis without any health facilities available and images of our neighbour that was bitten by scorpion in 44 army barracks because they were turned to refugees sleeping on the cold hard road inside that barracks in their own country is still etched in my mind.

Nigerians indeed deserves the kind of leaders they get. We truly have a thousand years to grow but is the world willing to wait for us to come to our senses?

Nice pic
