was for the party to win all available positions in the forthcoming elections.
A statement from his spokesman,

drawn to rumours going round to the effect that he has anointed some aspirants
for some offices, including the governorship ticket of the PDP in Kaduna State.
“We wish to make it very clear
that the distinguished has not anointed anybody. Senator Makarfi’s only
preference is for the party to win all available positions in the forthcoming
elections.

still encourages the coming together of all the aspirants with a view to
forging a common understanding that will pave way for a smooth and successful

must be respected by the party providing a level playing field for all to
participate in a free and fair primaries at which party members will freely
take a decision.

aspirants the best and urges delegates to freely exercise their rights.”
