Kaduna PDP Declares Loyalty to Makarfi

By John Shiklam in Kaduna

The Kaduna State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday declared its loyalty to the National Caretaker Committee led by a former governor of the state, Senator Ahmed Makarfi.

The party, in a communiqué issued at the end of its state executive meeting in Kaduna, maintained that the reinstatement of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as the national chairman of the party by the Appeal Court was an act of impunity which is against the constitution of the party.

According to the communiqué, the state executive and members of the PDP in Kaduna State remained loyal and answerable to Makarfi’s National Caretaker Committee until the decision of the Supreme Court on the matter.

The communiqué signed by the Chairman of the Communique Drafting Committee, Dr. John Ayuba, said the party stands by the judgment of the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt which endorsed the decision of the May 21, 2016 national convention.
