The former PDP National Chairman disclosed this on Channels Television’s breakfast show, Sunrise Daily.
Makarfi urged aggrieved PDP members to unite and discuss their differences in the country’s interest.
Makarfi said: “Peter Obi respects me; I respect him. Kwankwaso still is my friend, I respect him, but the issue is that we should all swallow personal ambition for the sake of this country and bring positive change by changing the government that is in power today.
“I call on other opposition parties to actually come together, especially Peter Obi.
“PDP will be home to him, PDP will be home to his supporters, and Kwankwaso, we all started PDP together; let us come back home and do the needful for the sake of this country.”
Meanwhile, a former Governor of Kano State, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has said that he might contest in the 2023 presidential election.
