2019: APC has made it easier for us to win — Makarfi
It is being said in some quarters that PDP has not
shown enough confidence and direction to convince Nigerians the party is set to
take over power from APC in 2019. How prepared is the party for 2019?
No serious party will want to continue to remain
as an opposition party. The role of any opposition party is to take over power
and that is what we set our eyes on right now. And I want to thank APC for
actually making our job easier and I continue to pray that APC continues to
make our job easier as we move closer to elections. I do not pray Nigerians
continue to suffer and that is why I believe Nigerians will make the right
choice by voting out the party in power.
As to our preparations, all I can say
is that we are doing all that is legally and politically doable to achieve our
objectives. It would be inappropriate for me to give a hint of what we are
doing or what we are planning.
It will amount to someone going to a battlefront
and publishing your war plans, you have as well committed suicide before going
for the war. We keep our plans to our chest but be rest assured we are used to
the politicking and we shall leave no stone unturned.
Till date, many still feel the over-bearing
influence of the Governors in the PDP is part of the reason why the party lost
in 2015. It is also believed that such played out in deciding who emerged
Chairman of the party at the December Convention. Being a former Governor and a
major player in PDP, how do you react to this?
Well, going back to the 2015 elections, the North
expected to have the ticket but even at that, our language was not so polite in
the campaigns. The manner and language some of our members used in campaigning
for 2015 was insulting to a certain part of the country.
