#PDPpresidentialprimaries: Makarfi campaign denies stepping aside

The campaign for Ahmed Makarfi has denied he is stepping aside in the presidential primaries of the PDP.

“We wish to make very clear that not only is Senator Makarfi very much in the race, he is also doing very  well and expects, at the end of the day, to get the nod of majority of the delegates to fly party’s flag in forthcoming elections,” said a statement from the group signed by Mukhtar Sirajo.

“Delegates and the general public are advised to ignore this vile rumour and remain focussed.”
