2023: Saraki, Tambuwal  Agree On Consensus Candidate

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are closing ranks to choose a possible standard candidate for their party in the forthcoming general elections.

Former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, who spoke on behalf of Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State and Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, revealed that they have agreed to work together to produce a consensus candidate.

He made the disclosure on Sunday in Bauchi while briefing reporters after the trio held discussions which lasted over two hours behind closed doors.

“With 2023 ahead of us, in trying to rescue the country, the unity of the country, the stability of the country, and the growth of the country are more important than individual ambitions,” Saraki stated. “We also met to strive for the need for us to work together.

“We believe that the three of us are working together harmoniously, committed and with a lot of energy, there will be great hope for this country going ahead. We appreciate that the three of us have shown aspiration to lead this country, but we’ve also come to realise that we are all capable, competent, and fit to lead this country.

“Finally, it is only one person that will lead this country in 2023; and we also resolved that we are going to work closely to ensure that we come out with a way that consensus arrangement would come among the three of us on how to go forward into leading this country.”
