A Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential aspirant, Ahmed Makarfi on Friday urged members of the opposition party to use their “brains” in other to defeat the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress, APC.
Makarfi, a former PDP Caretaker Committee Chairman also described APC as a party of “drowning men.”
The former Kaduna State governor spoke at the party’s secretariat when he submitted his Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms.
He said, “If you give a drowning man a sword, he will hold on to it. We are dealing with drowning men and we should understand and see them as such. We must never loss focus to wrest power from the APC. They may use whatever they want to use, but let’s use our brains.
“I will begin by sympathizing with PDP men and women on the attack on democracy yesterday when we were assaulted by the APC thugs. This has never happened before, for a party to leave its domain to another party’s headquarters and do what they did.
“But no matter how they try, they will not succeed. Intimidation will not work because we know the APC is left with no option other than intimidation. When you are losing, whatever you see, you grab.”
