Makarfi, Obi, others visit Fani-Kayode, Obanikoro, Abati in EFCC custody

Factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, and some members of his executive and loyalists were at the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Comission, EFCC, in Abuja on Wednesday.

In his entourage were Senator Ben Obi, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, Publicity Secretary, Sen. Abdul Ningi, PDP Organising Secretary, Senator Ughesi and Hajiya Binta Kuraye.

The chieftains visited Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, Senator Bala Mohammed, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro and Dr. Reuben Abati at the EFCC cells at about 3pm.


A source privy to the visit told DAILY POST that the guests encouraged the detainees to remain strong.

“The visit was used to express full solidarity with them.

“The chieftains were happy to see that despite their challenges and detention, they all were strong and in high spirits.

“They urged them to keep their minds at rest and assured that the whole of the PDP family is solidly behind them.


“They told them to keep their heads held up high and to stay agile”, the source said.

Responding, the four detainees thanked them for the visit.

They all hugged and shook hands throughout the visit that lasted over an hour.

Recall that the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Revd Matthew Kukah, on Monday visited the detainees.
