The Leader of the Care Taker Committee of the People’s Democratic Party and former governor of Kaduna State, Ahmed Makarfi has advised the ex-chairman of the party, Sen Ali Modu Sheriff to accept his fate of being removed from the leadership of the party in good faith.

Makarfi debunked the report that he stepped down from the leadership role of the opposition party for Sheriff adding that Sheriff is only representing his own selfish interest and that of the few individuals in the party.

According to him, “I am representing the party. Sheriff is representing his own interest and that of some individuals. I didn’t put myself in the position, neither am I desperate for power.

“The committee members are peace-loving people, and if the Board of Trustees decides today that we should step down, we will obey the directive. Whatever the appropriate party organs say, we will abide by it. In fact, I won’t wait for more than a minute to step down.

“The problem is Sheriff’s unwillingness to yield to entreaties aimed at resolving the issue. But we are appealing to Sheriff to accept his removal in good faith. The chairmanship of the party is not a do-or-die affair. The party is big enough to accommodate divergent views and interests.”
