Bereaved Ex-Governor Makarfi
The national leadership of the entire Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday condoled the former Chairman of its National Caretaker Committee and former Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi, over the death of his father, Malam Muhammad Makarfi.
The PDP expressed deep saddened by the news of the passing of Malam Makarfi, describing him as a devoted statesman and devout Muslim, who dedicated his life to the service of God, stability and growth of our dear nation and the good of humanity at large.
Astatement on Tuesday by Kola Ologbondiyan National Publicity Secretary of PDP, said though we the party intensely mourn, it draws solace in the fact that Malam Makarfi lived a fulfilled life and bequeathed to our nation an outstanding patriot in Senator Makarfi.
“Senator Makarfi’s commitment to national development as Governor of Kaduna state, Senator of the Federal Republic as well as the sacrifices he made in stabilizing and repositioning our party during her trying time speak volume of the lessons he must have received from his father,” the statement said.
