Former Kwara state governor, Bukola Saraki, has said that all the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirants from the north are ready for a consensus candidate during the party’s primaries without acrimony.
The former senate president gave the assurance in Bauchi on Sunday when he and Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State, paid a consultative visit to Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State.
Saraki, who addressed the media on behalf of the three presidential hopefuls, said that only one out of three presidential hopefuls will lead Nigeria in 2023.
According to him: “In doing so, we met and discussed that for 2023 ahead of us, the unity and stability of the country and the growth of the country is more important than individual ambitions.
“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.
