Senator Makarfi reveals agreement reached with Senator Sheriff
In order to clear the air concerning the Governing Dickson’s
led reconciliation committee meeting held to proffer a lasting solution to
the lingering tussle between Senator Ali Modu Sheriff and Senator Ahmed
Makarfi, the latter has come out to say that the agreement him and Sheriff
entered into was that both parties agreed to not to engage in any public or
media war.
According to Prince Dayo Adeyeye while speaking on behalf of
Markafi stated that the faction only agreed before the Governor Dickson’s
reconciliation committee to “stop further media attacks on officers, elders and
other stakeholders of the PDP across the internal political divide.”
He added: “For the record, the agreement was not a political
solution but rather an understanding reached urging representatives of ‘the key
actors’ from both groups not to dissipate energy amongst themselves but to
focus on how to unite as a formidable force capable of re-gaining power from
the failed All Progressive Congress (APC)-led government in the 2019.
“The agreement also implores both parties to desist from
making public derogatory remarks against each other that could cause
inflammatory reactions capable of dragging the party to the mud.”
He further stated that the national caretaker committee and
all the structures of the party were working with the reconciliation committee
to reach a permanent political solution.
The four point media hostilities cessation agreement demands
that “all actors of the parties should desist from making derogatory,
inflammatory and divisive statements against party officials, stakeholders and
members.”
It also said: “all key actors in the on-going peace process
should henceforth desist from making public statements attacking each other and
statements insinuating negative acts capable of dragging the party to the mud.”
