The Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Ahmed Makarfi has explained why the party is yet to endorse Governor Ayodele Fayose’s presidential ambition.
Recall TheNewsGuru reported yesterday that Fayose declared himself as Nigeria’s president in-waiting.
He said, “There were many people at the convention who indicated their political interests at the convention. It was not only Fayose. There were two other former governors who had posters about their bids. The convention was not elective and has nothing to do with the endorsement of anybody.
“There were also posters of those eyeing governorship and other positions. Would you say they were also endorsed? A convention is like a merrymaking ground where supporters come in to show their support.”
On the leadership tussle with his rival, Ali Modu Sheriff, the party leader said he bears no grudges against Sheriff.
He added, “It is not up to us for him to remain here. It is his choice. Many people, who are his supporters, were at the convention. They participated in various committees at the convention. Individuals will make their personal decision.
