Saraki is our candidate, north-central PDP endorses former Senate president for 2023 presidency
Meanwhile, some stakeholders of the PDP from the North-Central zone of the country had endorsed Saraki as their candidate for the Nigerian presidency.
According to the leader of the delegation, Iyorwuese Hagher, it was time for the geopolitical zone to produce the next president of Nigeria.
He said over the years, the zone supported other regions to enjoy the highest position in the country.
Hagher said:
“The nation right now is so divided and fragmented. We need a uniting force, which the North-Central is known for, to emerge and reunite the country again.
“Bukola Saraki is that young breed with wealth of experience at every cadre of governance to restore Nigeria to where we belong. We do not need an old man as president who will be travelling every moment for treatment and spending the country’s resources abroad.”
