Bala Muhammad of Bauchi state on Sunday hosted his Sokoto state counterpart, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal\u00a0 and the former Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki\u00a0 to a consensus building initiative among aspirants of Northern extraction for the position of President under the aegis of the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP).<\/p>\n<p>The trio, all seeking the nomination of the PDP to run for the seat of Nigeria\u2019s President, met for about two and half an hours in Government House, Bauchi.<\/p>\n<p>At the close of the meeting they posited that it is their considered resolution that against the backdrop of the failure of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to provide good governance, all those seeking to be President under the PDP should unite and rally round one candidate.<\/p>\n<p>The triumvirate from the three geopolitical zones in the Northern part of the country- North-Central, North-East and North-West also agreed that at a later date they will visit former President Atiku Abubakar, himself another presidential aspirant from the North, to brief him on the outcome of their brainstorm.<\/p>\n<p>Saraki who briefed journalists after the meeting said: \u201cwe appreciate that all of us have shown ambition but only one person could lead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor this reason, we decided that we should all embrace consensus going forward in order to make things easier for our party\u2019s stability,\u201d Saraki stated.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that their convergence, taking cognizance of the sorry state of the country and its people, which the APC is not ready to alleviate, are convinced that the PDP must lead the way in the March to rescue the country in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>He asserted that although all of them seeking the numero uno position are all qualified to contest, \u201cwe\u00a0 are ready to sacrifice our ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have agreed to put our heads together and see how best to provide leadership and direction for this country, its unity, stability and progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are more important than our individual ambitions, thus the need for us to work together,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday is momentous. The PDP is ready because what is important is Nigeria. Whatever we do, Nigeria should come first,\u201d the former Senate President further added.<\/p>\n<p>While Governor Tambuwal was accompanied by the former Deputy Governor of Zamfara State\u00a0 \u00a0Barrister Mahdi Aliyu Gusau and a Chieftain of the PDP in Sokoto state, Engr Bello Suleiman, Saraki came along with the former national Chairman of the PDP,<br \/>\nAlhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje and others.<\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Governor of Bauchi state, Engr Baba Tela was also present at the press briefing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026 To Share Thoughts With Atiku Soon Gov.
