Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has disclosed that presidential aspirants on the Peoples Democratic Party’s platform will meet soon to choose a consensus candidate.
On Tuesday night, he and three other PDP presidential hopefuls traveled to Enugu State to pay a visit to Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal; Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, and Mohammed Hayatu-Deen were among the hopefuls who followed Saraki to Enugu.
Senator Saraki, speaking on behalf of the group following a closed-door meeting with Gov. Ugwuanyi, said they discussed ways to promote Nigeria’s unity.
They also discussed the PDP’s future and the potential of a consensus presidential candidate at the party’s next National Convention, according to Saraki.
He went on to say that the party’s efforts to find a consensus candidate were not part of the northern agenda.
According to him, “When we started about three weeks ago, most of the aspirants we had then were mainly in the North. We were talking to the aspirants across the country. Now, because more people have come out in the South and we are all going to meet.
“All the aspirants are going to meet. We are talking about Nigeria. We are not talking about the northern aspirants or southern aspirants.
“I have good news that already, moves are being made by the aspirants in the South to meet, and eventually we all meet and see one consensus. That consensus is a Nigerian that represents all the groups.
“It is not about just a northern consensus, not at all. It’s a consensus for the PDP and one Nigerian.
“The most important ambition now is how to begin to fix Nigeria and put Nigeria on the right course.”
Governor Ugwuanyi, while responding, called on the northern aspirants to toe the line of equity and justice when deciding on 2023 presidential election.
