PDP Chairman Makarfi commends Adeleke, apologies to Nigerians
National Caretaker Committee Chairman of the party, Senator Ahmed Makarfi commended the efforts of Adeleke for the promise kept and urged other lawmakers on the platform of PDP to emulate him.
He maintained that PDP is the only veritable alternative to rescue the country from its present hard time, stressing that the party will fulfill every promise made by striving to redeem its image.
“With the PDP. We are going to have good governance under rain under shine. No doubt we had our problems but we will not run away from it.
“Nigeria has suffered enough and God will emancipate Nigerians by returning the PDP to power both at the Federal and at the state levels.”
Makarfi again apologised to Nigerians for the previous misrule and corruption of his party members that led to its defeat in 2015 election but promised that they have learnt their lessons.
”When you don’t accept that you erred, there is no way you can correct the mistakes for the benefit of the people. In PDP, we erred and we accepted it.
“For us in PDP, we had our flaws and we did not fail to admit them. I have apologised for our wrongdoings. I am using this medium to apologise again. We are sincerely sorry for all our failures,” he said.
Markarfi urged members of the PDP who had defected to return and join to rescue Nigeria from APC.
