The Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) National Caretaker Committee, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has
said that the present campaign mounted by Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti
State to vie for the 2019 Presidency is contrary to the decision of the party’s
convention that zoned presidency to the North.
Makarfi stated this while
addressing journalists in Kaduna
He said: “He (Fayose) is on his
own. What he is doing is not in compliance with the position of the party. The
party’s position has not changed.
“The convention has zoned the
presidency to the North and the chairmanship of the party to the South.”
Makarfi also dismissed
speculation that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar may be given an automatic
ticket to contest the same position on the platform of the PDP if he finally
decides to join the party before the 2019 general election.
It could be recalled that
Governor Ayo Fayose said his decision to seek the PDP ticket to contest
the 2019 presidential election against the Party’s zoning formula is
without prejudice to our party’s position.
