The game plan is that candidates will go into pocket alliances to outmaneuver strong contenders. Atiku might bring Makarfi into pocket for Ministerial DG concessions in exchange for delegates to outstrip Saraki from the race for instance. Saraki might also work with Lamido with similar objective in mind. 1 Like |

krendo: From reliable source Atiku will emerge and even Saraki will collapse his structures for Atiku and the moment Atiku emerges at the Primaries, APC will now understand the meaning of fire for fire approach in electioneering campaign strategies which I don't see Buhari surviving. No one, I repeat, none of the PDP presidential contestants have the needed political structures across the federation as Atiku. 1 Like 1 Share |

2019: Atiku visits Makarfi Posted By: Abdulgafar Alabelewe. September 8, 2018. …says Nigeria under APC is headquarter of world poverty As part of efforts to produce a consensus presidential candidate for their party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Saturday visited another leading aspirant, Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi in Kaduna, saying that, Nigeria’s leadership must be changed in 2019 general elections for the country. The former Vice President said, Nigeria under APC government has been turned to headquarter of poverty in the world. The Waziri Adamawa told Makarfi that he felt that it was necessary to visit him with his campaign train ahead of the September national convention of the party. He commended Makarfi who is also a presidential aspirant of the PDP for steering the party through turbulence period when he held sway as the party national caretaker committee chairman. The former VP said with Makarfi’s feat in leading the party off the woods, showed that the former governor has great potentials as a leader, saying that is why it is necessary for them to come together to sustain the nation’s democracy. He noted that Nigeria is currently at a cross-road, and that there was need for the aspirants and well meaning Nigerians to rescue the country from insecurity and poverty. According to Atiku, “Nigeria is at a cross-road, this is the worst time since 1999 democratic system. “The misadministration of the APC government is very evident; we have the highest record of unemployment since 1999, we have the highest inflation, we have multiple exchange rate that discourages foreign investment. We have the highest level of insecurity since 1999. “We are disunited this time more than ever before, people are more angry, people are poorer more than anytime. I mean, if Nigeria is the headquarters of poverty in the world. “This is unthinkable, for a country that is endowed with human and natural resources like ours, just because of lack of clear headed leadership and direction, this is where we find ourselves. “So, it is obvious that we just have to change the leadership of this country. When asked whether the PDP has the magic wand to change the country’s status quo, Atiku said, “of course, have you forgotten that, PDP governed this country since 1999 and we witnessed progressive development in all sectors of the economy?”. Speaking on his visit to Makarfi, he said, “we are all members of the same family and we are working together to ensure that PDP produces the best candidate for the next election, so that, PDP can be returned to power. “I am a democrat and I have always worked with anyone that emerged, so I am ready to work with anyone that emerges through credible elections. “Speaking about consensus, he said, consensus is their political family issue. When we close the doors and come out with a consensus, it will not be surprising”. Responding, Makarfi reminded the former VP of their various struggles working for the party in the past, noting that Atiku is capable and qualified to lead the party. Senator Makarfi said he has nothing to lose if Atiku picks the party’s presidential ticket. “I am ready to work with any of the fellow aspirants that emerges, that, is why I even said that, because I am willing to work with some of them, I won’t even step into their states. “I am not aversed to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar becoming the party’s candidate, just like he is not also aversed to me becoming the party’s candidate, it is a family issue, we are talking and we will keep on talking”. Makarfi said. |
