The Chairman of the National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said his faction of the party was favourably disposed to reconciliation that would be based on equity, equality and values. According to NAN, Sen. Makarfi made the assertion while addressing party supporters and stakeholders after the Supreme Court verdict that affirmed his Committee as the authentic leadership of the party.
He described the judgment as "no victor, no vanquish"
“We must be open to reconciliation, but there’s a caveat. Reconciliation does not mean we take what belongs to people and give it to you. It must be based on equity, equality and values. With this caveat, we should be prepared and willing to reconcile with everybody. Anybody that can meet these criteria, we should be willing and open to reconciliation with such a person no matter who they are,” he added.
He called on Sen. Ali Mod Sheriff and his faction to come and join hands in the rebuilding of the party “I urge them to come forward, join hands with us and let’s see how we move PDP forward.’’
He also assured that the Committee will meet in the coming days to commence consultations and come up with programmes that will assist the party
“These meetings will include Expanded Caucus, Board of Trustees and National Executive Committee so that we can take far-reaching decisions on how to take the party forward.”
