A former Senate President and presidential aspirant, Dr Bukola Saraki, has met with former Vice President Namadi Sambo, former governor of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Makarfi over his 2023 presidential ambition.
A delegation led by the Chairman, Contact and Mobilisation Committee of The Abubakar Bukola Saraki for 2023 Presidency, Prof Iyorwuese Hagher, met the party leaders on his behalf in Kaduna.
The delegation also met with Mallam Mukhtar Yero, ex-governor of the state.
Speaking at the PDP secretariat, Hagher said, “We have met with former Vice President Namadi Sambo, former governor Ahmed Makarfi, former governor Ramalan Yero, former and serving PDP Senators. They gave us permission to come and address the larger house in Kaduna. We are in PDP because APC is not a party to join.
“Nigerians are sick and tired of APC, a strange bedfellow that came together to bring hardship on Nigerians through a civilian dictatorship.
“PDP is well organised. It will defeat APC. Saraki will be accepted by the north and south. He is well educated. Now that Nigeria is sick, it needs Abubakar Bukola Saraki because he is a medical doctor.
“Nigeria needs an energetic president who will cry when citizens are crying, the president that will laugh when citizens are laughing. Not the president that will be laughing when citizens are crying. When he becomes president he will unite the citizens.
“We have insecurity in the country today because the leaders are incapable. We need a president that will ensure the security of the people.”
