Group lauds Makarfi, BoT ahead of convention

A socio-political group, the South West Patriotic Forum, ‎has commended the leadership of the PDP for upholding the tenets of internal democracy.

It said the national caretaker committee led by Senator Ahmed Makarfi deserved commendation for ensuring a level playing field for national chairmanship aspirants of the party.

The forum’s General Secretary, Mr Tosin Ayagboye, who stated this in a statement, pointed out that the purported pruning of national chairmanship candidates from the South West by some members of the regional BoT without due consultation was akin to “a coup d’ etat,” adding that they should be penalised for grave anti-party effrontery.
