A former Senate President and 2023 Presidential Hopeful under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bukola Saraki, has been described as an extension of late former President Umar Musa Yar’Adua, who many Nigerians have described as the best democratic President since 1999, .
The Contact and Advocacy Council of Saraki stormed the ancient city of Katsina State, and made this declaration.
The campaign team led by the former Nigerian High Commissioner to Canada and former Presidential Aspirant, Professor Iyorwuese Hagher, was in the State to seek the support of party Stakeholders and Delegates on the candidacy of Saraki, ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Members of the Council include: Ambassador, Professor Iyorwuese Hagher, Honourable Ibrahim Shehu Bakauye, Hon. Muhammad Shafa lafiya, Hajiya Hadiza Bukar Gombe, Sen. Sulaiman Hassan Sarawa, Hajiya Hadiza Mome, Binta Bello Gombe, and Dr. Musa Ahmed Ibrahim.
The Katsina State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Honourable Salisu Yusuf Majigiri, who received the Saraki’s Contact and Advocacy Council at the Katsina State PDP Headquarters, expressed his disappointment at the All Progressives Congress-led, APC, government’s decision not to announce the increase in crude oil price for the benefit of Nigerians, instead they keep mute.
According to Professor Hagher, the All Progressive Congress has succeeded in dividing Nigeria, describing Bukola Saraki as a Candidate that goes beyond zoning, and is also the Candidate that the country needs.
He noted: “He is a true Democrat with courage, and not a Civilian Dictator. He has an ear to listen like the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua. He is an extension to late Yar’adua.
“So, Bukola Saraki can wipe away the tears of Nigerians, because he understands what diversity means.”
