Bello, who is also the Senior Special Assistant on
media to Governor Darius Ishaku, noted that
Makarfi is the real game changer. He said, “I’ve
always aligned with the Makarfi side during the
party’s struggle. And now we can say with
certainty that the leader means well for the
party. It is through his political sagacity and
maturity that the PDP had a very successful
convention recently. His ability to bring all the
groups and individuals together is legendary. It
is even more heartwarming that, through his
utterances and actions, Makarfi exudes
confidence, selflessness, tact and deep humility.
He has expunge the party’s image of a place
where garrison commanders and charlatans are
in charge. He has shown that the years of
impunity, imposition and crass intimidation are
over in the party. His action has also been very
emulative even to the opposition who have a lot
faith in him and are wishing him well.”
Bello hailed the recent decision to open up the
PDP’s elective positions to all stakeholders.
He said: “Everyone now knows PDP is reborn
with the recent decision to open up the space to
all those interested in positions. No more caging
or cowing contestants as respect for people’s
will is taking center stage. Makarfi is not only
rebranding the party. He also entrenching
democracy and enriching it in our national
politics. He should be given an award of
excellence by all lovers of democracy.”
