Both Saraki and Dogara had initially defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) until their recent return to the PDP. Jonathan also appealed to delegates to choose rightly even as he commended the spirit of sportsmanship of the aspirants for choosing to support whoever emerged as the party’s presidential candidate. He urged party members to present a formidable candidate that can defeat the APC in the forthcoming general elections.
