Yesterday,The Sen Ahmed Makarfi-led national caretaker committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) opened subtle overtures to former president Olusegun Obasanjo over the current state of affairs of the party.
Makari led his committee members to meet the former president who was attending a forum of farmers at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua center in Abuja, the same venue for the inauguration of the party’s national convention committee, scheduled for August 17 in Porthacourt, Rivers State.
While preparations for the PDP event which held at the main auditorium of the center was yet to begin, Makarfi mobilized his committee to greet Obasanjo who is a renowned farmer at the farmers meeting.
Although it was not clear whether the meeting was at the instance of Makarfi or Obasanjo, a female staff of the foundation led Makarfi and his committee into the hall were the farmers met.
About six minutes later, the caretaker committee came out of the room and returned to the venue of the inauguration of the zoning committee.
About an hour after the end of the inauguration, Obasanjo came out of the farmers’ meeting and walked briskly into his waiting black Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) which was parked at the entrance to the main building.
While attempts to reach the spokesman of the committee, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, was not successful, another member of the committee who was at the meeting declined to comment on the matter.
Obasanjo, a former president and Board of Trustee chairman of the PDP, had resigned from partaking in the affairs of the party, following his face off with one of his successors and immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan.
