Senator Ahmed Makarfi, a former Governor of Kaduna State on sunday disclosed his intention to vie for presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party in 2019
The former Caretaker Committee Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party explained that he had consulted widely and arrived at the conclusion that the time had come for him to contest for the exalted position.
He said unveiled his programme if elected in 2019.
“Restructuring the country, tackling insecurity, fighting corruption with due process and rule of law, improving the economy, reuniting the nation are top among what my administration will do for the country,’’ he said.
Makarfi said the crisis rocking the ruling APC was an advantage for his party to emerge victorious in the election.
Makarfi, however, commended president Buhari’s administration’s fight against insurgency.
