Life Is Still Tough For The Poor Man – Ahmed Makarfi

Ahmed Makarfi, Chairman, National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democractic Party (PDP), has warned PDP members against taking the party to court.

“It is unfortunate that some people still think that going to court is the best way out, even after the Supreme Court’s judgement on the party’s leadership tussle.

“The party will take a very hard stand on any member who is in a hurry to go to court without exhausting the avenues available in the party for grievances to be heard and be addressed accordingly.

“We cannot deny people their fundamental human rights, but the party constitution says that members must exhaust the internal mechanism before seeking external solutions.

“If you are quick in seeking external solutions, the party will not take it kindly,” Makarfi warned.
“At this stage, it is not one side versus the other side.

“The only side that is against us is anybody that takes us to court; it is that person or group that is clearly against us,” he said.

“The issue should not be politicised; getting out of recession is when people feel secured and can feed and find jobs.

“We can only say we are out of recession when there is adequate infrastructure and students do not find it difficult to pay tuition fees.

“The reality is that, all these complaints are still there. Life is still tough for the poor man. So why should we be clapping and claiming that we are out of recession?

“It is not time to clap. We have nothing to clap for. We have a lot to do. That is what PDP intends to correct when we come to power.

“What we are doing now is to partner with those in power to make sure that the conditions of every Nigerian, especially the ordinary person, is better. We won’t politicise that.”
