2023: North-central PDP Demands to Produce President

The ABS Contact and Advocacy Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday requested Nigerians to support the group’s quest for the North Central Zone of the country to produce the next president of Nigeria.

The group equally called on people of the North-central Zone of the country to support it to ensure that the former president of the Nigerian Senate, Bukola Saraki, emerges the zone’s sole candidate in the forth coming presidential primary election of the PDP.

Chairman of the group, Senator Iorwuese Hagher, made the call in Lafia, the capital of Nasarawa State, when he led the group on an advocacy visit to North-central geopolitical zone’s critical stakeholders of the PDP on the need for a sole presidential candidate for the zone in during the PDP presidential primaries of the party.

He, however, lamented that the coming up of multiple aspirants during the 2019 presidential primary election of the PDP from the North-central geopolitical zone of the country was responsible for the edging of the zone during the contest.

He therefore, cautioned against the repetition of the same thing in the forth coming presidential primary election of the PDP, hence the group’s chairman called for the endorsement of Bukola Saraki as the North Central Zone’s sole candidate.

According to Hagher, “A presidential candidate from the zone can easily win the trust of the country, unite the country, build a cohesive country and virulently work on the security and economic problems.
