Unlike APC, PDP Will Put Cash In Your Pockets, Makarfi Tells Nigerians

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will rout hunger and ensure Nigerians have “enough cash in their pocket,” Ahmed Makarfi, PDP caretaker committee chairman, promised on Saturday.

Makarfi made the promise at the PDP non-elective national convention that held today in Abuja.

The PDP caretaker committee chairman said there is so much hunger under the President Muhammadu Buhari government because unlike the PDP which is local, the APC is an alliance of people with conflicting and selfish interests.

“Today is the beginning of a foundation that was laid long ago. PDP is a family and blood-related in the sense that we mean well for Nigerians.

“We have gone through a lot and we intend to do a lot for Nigerians. This is our path to greatness and entrenchment of democracy. At least five attempts were made to stop this convention in the last two days but they did not succeed.

“We will work hard to sack the APC government in 2019. While you pray for PDP to come back, we will continue to work hard to see that the sufferings today become past.

“One of the things we will introduce in 2019 is a Student loan scheme to solve the yearnings of Nigerian to youth. There will be no hunger because Nigerians will have plenty to eat and even enough cash left in their pocket.”

Speaking also at the non-elective national convention, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State said Nigerians have tasted the bitterness of the APC in contrast with what the PDP can offer.

“Nigerians have now experienced another party at the federal government. They can now compare and contrast,” said Okowa.

“The PDP is back and more strengthened and resolved to take over power from the APC. We are leaving no stone unturned in doing that.

“It is time for self examination for all of us and to return to what is right bearing in mind our mistakes in the past. We have overcome our challenges and we must all support those things that add value to the growth of our great party.

“It is time to come back home. With a firm resolve that we need to bounce back in 2019, we must think the best for ourselves,” he said.
