Senator Ahmed Makarfi, former
chairman, National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
has given an insight into the movement being promoted by ex-President Olusegun
Obasanjo.
Describing the movement as
‘coalition of Obasanjo’, he noted the group is not a political party.
Makarfi explained that the agenda
of the movement is to gather a good number of the voting population and then
ask them to vote for a particular candidate in 2019.
”We don’t feel threatened by
the Coalition of Obasanjo. I can tell you that most of them are friends and
associates”, he told New Telegraph.
”They said they are not a
political party, time will tell. If they turn out to be a political party, we
will see how it plays out.
”Obasanjo himself said anytime
they turn to a political party, he will cease to be a member.
”My take on it is like in the
United States, where you have independent candidacy, you have the Democrats and
the Republican.
“Then you have an independent
candidate who looks at a candidate and decides where to swing at the last
minute.
”That is what I feel it is,
time will tell what their aims are,” Makarfi added.
