A group under the aegis of Bukola Saraki for President Advocacy Council has urged Gombe stakeholders in Peoples Democratic Party to support the ambition of the former senate president.
Speaking shortly after a consultative meeting held at the PDP state secretariat on Tuesday, its Chairman, Prof Iyorwuese Hagher, said the former Kwara State governor is the answer to the myriads of challenges bedevilling the country.
According to him, the country has been drifting since the emergence of the All Progressives Congress, stressing that Nigeria is in a critical stage of its history.
Hagher said, “We have come to Gombe to sensitise, dialogue, and have a feeling of the pulse of the nation. We have toured different states of the country, and we intend to tour all states of the country before Bukola Saraki comes up to make his declaration about his vision and mission.
“Very clearly, Nigeria needs Bukola Saraki; now, we are in a critical situation in our country. APC has come to be a party that can be likened to a ‘one-chance’ taxi, with false promises of where they are going to take you to, once it takes off it breaks down. The APC is a dangerous vehicle, it has failed in all it promises.”
He noted that Saraki has shown leadership, as a former chairman of the governors’ forum, noting that he has the strength to unify the country and ensure lasting prosperity.
“The PDP must get prepared to rebuild this country; we want a president who can be available for us, we need a young, robust president. We want a president who will not be elected based on tribe, we don’t want a northern, or southern president, we want a Nigerian president,” Hagher noted.
