PDP not against restructuring, but… — Makarfi
Chairman, National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, said, yesterday, that the party had nothing against restructuring but stressed there was need for a common ground on what needs to be restructured.
Makarfi, who spoke in an interview with Vanguard, said: “Because it (restructuring) means different things to different people, there is need to sit down and build consensus on what is generally acceptable to the people, the modalities, nature and time frame should be clearly spelt out.”
This is even as the PDP, yesterday, chided the Kano State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, for what it described as impunity, following failure of Speaker of the state House of Assembly to swear in Abdullahi Muhammed of the PDP 21 days after the Supreme Court ordered Hayatu Musa Sallahu of the APC to vacate his seat.
Makarfi said the importance of a common ground on what needed to give way for a Nigeria that would be acceptable to all could not be over-emphasised.
