Former Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) caretaker committee chairman, Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi, has advised
former President, Olusegun Obasanjo not to jeopardise plans of the opposition
in Nigeria to defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President
Muhammadu Buhari in the coming 2019 general elections, through his political
actions.
Makarfi, speaking with
journalists in Kaduna warned Obasanjo not to oppose PDP and other opposition
parties in the country, as it may only pave way for the APC to cling onto power
in 2019.
According to him, unless the
former president joined political forces with other opposition elements in
Nigeria to form a formidable platform against Buhari in 2019, “what we fear
most about the APC perpetuating itself in power will only be facilitated by his
(Obasanjo) actions”.
Makarfi added: “We still respect
him as former president and elder statesman in Nigeria. Somebody, in spite of
his shortcomings, I believe he still earns respect. But again, divided
opposition is not a good way to kick APC out of power in 2019. It is actually
the surest way of making APC to remain in power.
“So, I want everybody to think
twice and assess individuals actions towards opposition parties. If APC hadn’t
come together as a coalition of interests in 2015 APC, it won’t have pushed PDP
out of power. And if we don’t do the same, what ha may be fearing, with others
like him they will just facilitate it.”
