Gov. Bala Muhammad of Bauchi state on Sunday hosted his Sokoto state counterpart, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and the former Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki to a consensus building initiative among aspirants of Northern extraction for the position of President under the aegis of the People’s Democratic Party – PDP

The trio, all seeking the nomination of the PDP to run for the seat of Nigeria’s President, met for about two and half an hours in Government House, Bauchi.

At the close of the meeting they agreed that it is their considered resolution that against the backdrop of the failure of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to provide good governance, all those seeking to be President under the PDP should unite and rally round one candidate.

The outcome of meeting it was agreed will be communicated to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and another presidential aspirant from the North, to brief him on the outcome of their brainstorm.

Saraki who briefed Journalists after the meeting said:
“We appreciate that all of us have shown interest to be elected as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but only one person will be chosen.”

“For this reason, we decided that we should all embrace consensus going forward in order to make things easier for our Party’s stability,” Saraki stated.

He pointed out that their convergence, taking cognizance of the sorry state of the country and its people, which the APC is not ready to alleviate, are convinced that the PDP must lead the way in the match to rescue the country in 2023.

He asserted that although all of them seeking the numero uno position are all qualified to contest, “We are ready to sacrifice our ambitions.”

“We have agreed to put our heads together and see how best to provide leadership and direction for this country, its unity, stability and progress.

“These are more important than our individual ambitions, thus the need for us to work together,” he emphasized.

“Today is momentous. The PDP is ready because what is important is Nigeria. Whatever we do, Nigeria should come first,” the former Senate President further added.

Nigerians reacting on the outcome of the Bauchi meeting, say there are chances that they want to dump their respective ambitions in Atiku Abubarkar basket to compensated him for his many attempts to be Nigeria President.

While Governor Tambuwal was accompanied by the former Deputy Governor of Zamfara State Barrister Mahdi Aliyu Gusau and a Chieftain of the PDP in Sokoto state, Engr Bello Suleiman, Saraki came along with the former national Chairman of the PDP,
Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje and others.
