Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed Makarfi, says there would have been chaos in Nigeria if Ali Modu Sheriff won at the Supreme Court.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Publicity Secretary, Guild of Online Journalists, Jacob Onjewu Dickson.
The group had paid a courtesy call on Makarfi at his residence in Kaduna on Sunday.
Makarfi said: “The court verdict is a victory for democracy; it has brought stability to the political terrain.
“If a contrary verdict was pronounced, it would have resulted to chaos. And with other chaotic situations in the country, it would have been bad,” he said.
The PDP Chairman explained that though there was genuine plans to reconcile all the party faithful, only those willing to embrace same can be reconciled with.
Makarfi said though from the judgment, there was no victor, no vanquish, the caretaker committee would carry all members of the party along.
“We will provide a level playing field for everyone, that it how we can return the party to back to power at the centre,” he said.
Makarfi, a two-term Governor of Kaduna State, congratulated Nigerians for the victory, assuring of its people oriented policies that would reach all sectors of the society.
