A former governor of Kaduna state, Ahmed Makarfi has urged Nigerians to join hands with the PDP to oust the ruling All Progressives Congress APC from power in 2023.
He added that voting smaller opposition parties like the Labour Party LP or the New Nigeria Peoples Party will only strengthen the chances of one of the PDP or APC against the other.
He stated this in a television interview on Tuesday.
“This contest is between APC and PDP, so let people get this clear. I know there are a lot of sentiments are there out of frustration maybe but the clear choice for Nigerians is you either vote for PDP or you vote for APC,” he said.
“If you vote for any other party, you’ll only increase the strength of either of the two parties depending on where the vote come from.
“For the youths, when you’re angry you may even take a decision that may worsen your situation. If you are angry and frustrated, talk to people that can listen to you and address your issue.
“But if you go to take an option which will make the status quo remain what is the use of your frustration and anger? That is why I’m calling for a reason.
“I call for other opposition parties to actually come together. In any case, especially Peter Obi, I know he respects our presidential candidate a lot, he respects a many of us.
“PDP will be home to him and his supporters and indeed Kwankwaso, we started PDP together, let us come back home to do the needful for the sake of the country”, he added.
