Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has said that it is the turn of the North-Central geopolitical zone to lead the country.
Saraki spoke on Tuesday in Jos when he addressed delegates from Plateau State ahead of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary elections slated to hold in May.
The former Kwara governor, who is among the many aspirants in the race for the PDP ticket, said the North-Central had consistently supported other regions to lead the country and deserved similar support from other zones, this time.
“You remember that before the national convention of our party, we held a meeting in Abuja with delegates of North-Central extraction.
“We said to ourselves that for many times and many years, we, in the North Central, have worked hard, we struggled, used our efforts, used our money, used our energies to support other people to lead.
“Everybody, who had become President under this great party, got the seat because of our massive sacrifices.
“We have now resolved that it is time for others to vote for us in 2023.”
