“The national leadership, on behalf of the entire Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) family, condoles with the former chairman of the National
Caretaker Committee of our great party and former governor of Kaduna
State, Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi, over the death of his father,
Malam Muhammad Makarfi.
“The PDP is deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Malam Makarfi,
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.
“Though we intensely mourn, the PDP 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 PDP therefore condoles with the entire Makarfi family and prays the
Almighty God to grant them and their loved ones the fortitude to bear
this huge loss.”
