Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state are canvassing the consensus arrangement and are presently lobbying other leaders of the party to buy into the option.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Speaking during a visit to\u00a0Taraba State governor, Arc. Darius Ishaku in Abuja, Saraki also\u00a0disclosed that the problem of the country cannot be solved by one person, hence the need for all the Presidential aspirants under the PDP to work together to win the next presidential election and salvage the nation.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The two-time governor of Kwara State said that the trio is seeking the blessing of Gov. Ishaku and other PDP governors early while the foundation for consensus is being laid.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cWhy we are coming early is because we want to ensure that you are part of this process. It is not being the president that matters, it is a team work that we want to bring to this country, to take a change from what leadership used to be, one person.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThe leadership we want to provide in 2023 is a leadership of unity where we will all play a role because it is clear that the problem of Nigeria is not what one person can do and it starts with the emergence of that candidate\u201d.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Saraki pointed out that Nigerians are passing through a rough period and are looking unto the PDP to rebuild the country.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThe main thing now is for PDP to come back and provide leadership for this country and provide direction for the millions of Nigerians who are going through a lot. We will rescue them, take over the country and rebuild it and we have made ourselves committed to this project and with Gods guidance, we will come up with one person and when we do that, we would like your support\u201d.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Saraki said that they equally intend to meet with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar other state governors as well as other aspirants from the south so that the party can go into battle more united and avoid the backlash that usually accompany primary election.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cWe all have our individual ambitions; we all are eminently qualified to lead this country but we all cannot lead the country at the same time. What is important now is to provide leadership and unity, lets close ranks because if we all go to the primary, you know the problems that it will create and we agreed to work together and come up with a candidate.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThe main thing now is for PDP to come back and provide leadership for this country and provide direction for the millions of Nigerians who are going through a lot. We will rescue them, take over the country and rebuild it and we have made ourselves committed to this project and with Gods guidance, we will come up with one person and when we do that, we would like your support\u201d.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Responding, Gov. of Taraba state eulogized the consensus move of the aspirants and assured them of his support.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He said, \u201cThis is a wonderful golden initiative. PDP is known for being a family. We have shown Nigerians how to rule and manage their affairs and I think we should still be the leaders. I very happy with this visit. You have my 100% support. I am sure my colleagues too will give you the same support and any right thinking person should be able to support this mission.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cWe only have to produce one person. Let walk together, hold our hands together and agree that this person should be our leader and then will all fall in line. Then savage this country, bring it back to what it is\u201d.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Ishaku said that all stakeholders must work together to bring unity to the party at the first instance so that the project of returning to the Presidential villa can be realized.<\/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>&#8230;Plan to lobby Atiku, Anyim others Ahead of the 2023 general elections, presidential aspirants in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP are insisting that consensus arrangement will help in uniting the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":93335,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-93334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
