SENATOR Ahmed Makarfi, presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, yesterday said he had a horrible experience plying the roads in the South-East region.

Makarfi spoke in Owerri, during his visit at the Imo State PDP secretariat. While narrating his experience, he said travelling to Owerri by road had justified his decision that 90 percent of his campaign would be on road projects.

Makarfi said: “As I was coming from Enugu to Owerri, the roads are bad. It is shocking. That is why I said 90 per cent of my campaign will be on road projects. “Some people asked me to come by air and I said no, why should I do that ?   I want to feel the experience of our people and know their pains in view of solving them.”

According to Makarfi, “We must know what the electorate want. PDP   is very democratic and it is a party that believes in dialogue. We could not have succeeded in the PDP  national convention if many of you did not subscribe to dialogue.

“In 2007, I could have become the president if not for what happened. Then, I did not run away; I contributed my quota. As PDP members, we must believe in the party even when we lose. We must believe that God gives power. If you see me leaving PDP, then I am leaving politics.

“The policy of PDP is restructuring of Nigeria. PDP will bring Nigeria together on how to restructure Nigeria fairly. If you are a member of PDP and you don’t believe in restructuring, you  should leave the party.” While on restructuring, he said: “We should also look at institutional restructuring. If we have institutional restructuring, what happened in the National Assembly wouldn’t have happened. I support state police but we must do it in such a way that it does not serve only political leaders.”

Speaking also, a former governor of Imo State, Chief Achike Udenwa, said: “I don’t know if anybody knows Makarfi   more than me because we were colleagues as governors for 8 years. “During his time as governor of Kadunna state, there was nothing like Christians and Muslims. He abolished it through his policies and Christains and Musilims were the same and lived peacefully.”

How I’ll restructure Nigeria—

Makarfi While on a visit to Ebonyi State to consult with party members on his presidential ambition, Senator Ahmed Makarfi asked Nigerians not to judge all those justling to rule the country in 2019 by their looks alone as such could be deceitful.

Reacting to the allegations that he was too gentle to lead Nigeria, Makarfi said,” People said I was too gentle to defeat Modu Sheriff during the struggle to reposition PDP but what happened?

“Don’t be mistaken by looks. It is the action. In Kaduna State, people saw my actions. People said I was too gentle to handle the Kaduna Mafia but what happened? Those who will mistake me to be weak will be shocked but Nigerians will be happy.


” Makarfi said that having chaired the technical committee that set the agenda for the National Conference under President Obasanjo, restructuring Nigeria now would “be incorporating whatever Nigerians resolved and bringing in people that will dust my committee’s report, removing what is obsolete and bringing in what is new.”

Saraki has been declared a keyword just like Atiku use to be in their insanity here..

Its amazing how they tried to bring pdp into the dss saga but the truth is finally coming out, as the dailies are of the opinion the president is not happy with osibanjo on daura's sack.

After SIXTEEN YEARS of diligent followership, PDP can't even boast of common roads in the East. This is an indictment on PDP if I must say.

Jonathan be like...

My brother PDP has been in charge of SE for 16 years and no single improvement

Now this madkafi wants to make it look like its not PDPs fault.

Reminds me of a quote I read a few days ago about PDP and Lagos and I quote

" I was wondering why Lagos is so developed and still growing in beauty and innovation and then it struck me that PDP has NEVER governed Lagos".

What exactly does he mean by institutional restructuring? Anything that retains this Abuja begging system of central collection and distribution of funds to states every month is no restructuring. These politicians need to come out clean on their policies...

What a PITY!

After 16yrs of PDP rule and last administration who happens to be their hero...

Save your tears man!






We aren't voting for you!

Buhari keep deceiving Ndigbo that he has fixed all their roads and they gullibly believe him

abegi
commit suicide thr ans we will accept your tears
bastard

Clown.

He was in the same PDP that ruled for 16 years with nothing to show for it.

Bunch of rouges.

Buhari wants to get votes in Igboland.

PDP that couldn't do anything useful for over 20 years.

Tonye con and see ur man. Wey no get charisma

Is he just aware after defection. Clowns

Ok
