A former Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has revealed why the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has not merged with any other political party yet.

He said if the PDP is not careful going through the process of merging with other parties, it may result to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, hurting and sending the main opposition party into extinction.

He said the APC may end up shutting the PDP out of the 2019 elections.

Speaking in an interview with The Sun, Makarfi, a former Caretaker Committee Chairman of the PDP, said “Merger is a technical issue that…except if we simplify it by legislation.

“This government the way they work, if you play into their hands they will extinguish you because before you merge you have to dissolve as a political party and surrender your licenses.

“If you do that and government interferes with INEC and they don’t approve for you, even if you go to court it will take a long time. By that time maybe the elections are over.

“So you have to look at the kind of government you are having. If you are having an open, democratic government that does not interfere you can consider a lot of things.

“But when you are dealing with a set of people that are very vicious the way they approach things you have to be very careful what you adopt to the play towards 2019 otherwise you will fall into a trap and you may not be able to come out of it.”

I dedicate this space to all hardworking Nigerian youths out there in every street corner hustling.
Jah Bless you all.


Fvck Buhari.

Fvck APC

Merging is not the problem, only credibility can bring you people back. Work on your manifesto and don't "promise and fail".
Buhari must go anyway!!!

Let's test PDPs popularity here....

Like for pdp and share for buhari

What we need is proactive government not all these old cargoes disguising as saviors of the country. APC and PDP can go and die, we don't need them. They are all parasites. Our youths are not lazy, we are hardworking.

Lol! Funny how APC diehard fans still reasons. Spend their entire era/regime planning on how to defeat their opponent without the thought of serving the people (Nigeria/ns)

Lolz

I just dey laugh. It's easier for Arsenal to win UCL than PDP to win presidential election again.

The name PDP is a synonym of corruption. The best way to go is to merge with like minded which will definitely lead the party to adopt a new name.

Dan fulani
.u do not need to merge rather u can retain ur ID and form alliance with parties of similar ideology

APC is evil

by God and THE goodWILL OF REASONABLE NIGERIANS, BUHARI MUST GO

Yes oh, marriage (merging) can destroy someone's life these days.

Both Party and Human

APC can never win 2k19 elections.

Mr Makarfi political party is not the problem, but the personalities behind the party...

Check my siggy for all importers

Laziness is when u indulge in MMM, Internet Scam, while your mate is busy working in his/her Cashew farm.

Smart thinking. I don't think pdp needs to merge. They just need a credible candidate.

eating the humble pie... who can ever believe these PDP guys can be this humble. they now know the power of the people.

If they had done the right thing by conducting free and fare elections during their 16 years, it would have been a lot easier for them to come back..... but the rigging monster they created has and will always hunt them........o had they known, they should have made every vote count...... eeyah

Merging and change of name should not be considered not all. PDP shall rise again, if and only free, fair and credible primaries are conducted.#VACANCYEXISTINASOROCK

APC is really vicious even PDP is very careful with announcing their candidate to prevent their candidate from being attacked by the FG through EFCC.
