BEVERLY HILLS, July 12, (THEWILL) – Caretaker Committee Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has taken over the party’s secretariat.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday declared Makarfi as the authentic chairman of the PDP – ending a 14-month leadership battle between Makarfi and Ali Modu Sheriff.
The secretariat had on different occasions been sealed off by the police owing to the leadership tussle but was flung opened to Makarfi and his supporters on Wednesday amid celebration.
Speaking with party supporters at the complex, the PDP Chairman described the judgment as “no victor, no vanquished,” adding that he is open to reconciliation with 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,” he said.
“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.”
