Ahmed Makarfi, Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, National Caretaker Committee Chairman on Monday denied insinuations
that the concession granted to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar made him
return to the party.
The former Kaduna State Governor
made the clarification during the inauguration of the PDP Convention Planning
Committee and sub- committees, in Abuja.
He said the Waziri of Adamawa
never asked for any concession from the National Caretaker Committee before
returning to the fold of the former ruling party.
According to Makarfi, “PDP did
not extend any special concession to Atiku and the party will not extend any
special concession to any other person. Atiku never asked; we conceded nothing
to him and we never gave him anything.”
Allaying fears of party members
on the possibility of imposing a presidential candidate on them in 2019,
Makarfi said, “party members reserve the right to give mandate to anyone they
wish to give their mandate to.”
Atiku had last Sunday returned to
the former ruling party, where he was one of the founding fathers.
