The National Caretaker Committee Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has said that the country has suffered enough in the hands of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).

He posited that the PDP is the only veritable alternative to rescuing the country from its present hard time ocassioned by the APC bad governance.

Makarfi said this in Ede, Osun state on Wednesday at the award of scholarship to indigent students from Osun West Senatorial District by Senator Ademola Adeleke as part of his election promises.

According to Makarfi, “With the PDP. We are going to have good-time governance under rain under shine. No doubt we had our problems but we will not run away from it.

” What we have now is a government and a party of denial. Anything you say even when they know is the truth, they will still find excuses, they will never accept that they erred. When you don’t accept that you erred, there is no way will correct the mistakes for the benefit of the people. In PDP, we err and we accept it.

“Nigeria has suffered enough and God will emancipate Nigerians by returning the PDP to power both at the Federal and at the state levels.”

Makarfi expressed happiness towards the promise of scholarship kept by Senator Ademola Adeleke adding that PDP would be fulfilling every promise made to Nigerians.

Markarfi urged members of the PDP, who had defected to return home while also appealing to those, who were yet to join the party to do so and join them to rescue Nigeria from suffering.While speaking at the event, Sen. Ademola Adeleke appealed to PDP in Osun to close ranks and work together for a common goal as the 2018 governorship election in the state is drawing closer.

He said, ” This is the greatest challenge, that all well meaning members of the PDP in the state, should saddle themselves with by closing ranks with a view to presenting a credible and sellable candidate that will effortlessly win the governorship election and take over the Bola Ige House, Abere.

“Let us, as a party avoid rancour, mudslinging, pull him down syndrome and other vices, that may endanger, God forbid, our chances of winning the 2018 governorship election.”

Adeleke appealed to PDP leaders who were yet to sheath their swords to do so and work for the party to win the poll and bring succor to the people of Osun State

Promising to continue to put smiles on the faces of the people of his constituency and the state at large, Adeleke said the the scholarship award was part of the promises he made during his electioneering campaign.

He recalled that the scholarship award was an initiative of his late brother, Alhaji Isiaka Adeleke during his life time.

Adeleke further explained that late Adeleke had started the scholarship since 1996, promising to continue the programme.

He therefore urged the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the opportunity given to them by always facing their studies.
