2023: Saraki consults ex-VP Sambo, Makarfi, PDP bigwigs in Kaduna over presidential ambition

Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, the immediate past Senate President, has stated that Nigeria is sick and in need of a youthful, vigorous, and bright leader to lead the country out of its current security and economic crises.

Saraki was in Kaduna, where he met with former Vice President Namadi Sambo, former governors of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Makarfi and Ramalan Yero, as well as other PDP stakeholders, to discuss his presidential ambitions in 2023.

He was accompanied on the consultation tour by Prof. Iyorwuese Hagher, chairman of Abubakar Bukola Saraki’s Contact and Mobilization Committee for the 2023 presidential election, and other members of the committee, including former National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Kawu Baraje, and former Kwara State Governor, Sen. Mohammed Shaaba Lafiagi.

He claimed that Nigerians must do everything possible to remove the current party, the APC, noting that the PDP has young and dynamic individuals who, if given the mandate to lead the country, might restore sanity to the system.

Saraki’s presidency, according to Hagher, will be a double blessing for the country because he is a medical practitioner who is young and active and eager to listen to citizens’ desires and drive the country ahead in all aspects of life.

“We met with former Vice President Namadi Sambo, former Governor Ahmed Makarfi, former Governor Ramalan Yero, and past and current PDP Senators,” he stated. They allowed us to come to Kaduna and address the larger house. We joined the PDP because the APC is not a party we want to join.”

Nigerians, he claims, are sick and weary of the APC, which he describes as a collection of weird bedfellows who banded together to inflict suffering on Nigerians through civilian dictatorship.
