PDP Convention: Lawmakers Back Saraki as Presidential Candidate

There is a strong possibility to the effect that Nigeri's Federal Lawmakers have cast their weight behind the President of the Nigerian Senate and Presidential Candidate of the People's Democratic Party, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, at the ongoing Presidential primaries of the People's Democratic Party,PDP, at Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.

A source within the highest ranks of the party who spoke with our correspondent on the condition of anonymity said the lawmakers decided to identify with Saraki as a way of showing solidarity and support for one of their own.

Dr. Saraki who is the President of the 8th Senate is said to have achieved great feats as Leader of the country's highest lawmaking body and that the support he's garnering may not be unconnected to these achievements.


The convention which has no less than 12 candidates jostling for the party's presidential ticket is peacefully progressing at the time of report.

UPDATE:

As at 2:00pm, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has met with 19 State delegations in the last 12hours. More previously undecided delegates have started pledging their support. #PDPConventionPHC

UPDATE. 3:00pm:

President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has just met with the Niger State delegates on the sidelines of #PDPConventionPHC.

APC won't like this....

Still counting... Many are on their way running to support our incoming president.

This Saraki is quite a smart guy

Saraki is the bomb, When we speak they listen!!!!! Gbabe

Lol

I'm praying that this Saraki man will emerge as the PDP flag bearer so that he will receive the beating of his life.

He probably fail to understand the difference between legislative politics and general election politics.

I no tell ona?

Lets grow Nigeria together

I dont really care who wins the ticket.
I just want Buhari out.

Good one. I'm not so much a fan of Saraki and as a matter of fact, I have never been a fan of him. But looking at the situation of things on ground and his wealth of experience in politics,his age and achievements,i think he might just be a sell-able candidate to battle that lifeless,demented thing in aso rock that has divided this country so badly and plunged a vast majority of the populace into unprecedented poverty. A man that never knows when anything goes wrong in the country but is always so quick to claim the achievements of others,as his own. In 2019,it would be a sacrilege for Africa's largest country and economy,to be ruled by a next to walking dead corpse as president. Saraki as of today doesn't have that moral bagage of not being able to travel out of the country due to allegations of corruption like Atiku.

I wish you luck.

Lol
APC and Buhari laughing at PDP'S folly in choosing Saraki

Chai!!

I will choose the lesser of two evils. I chose saraki

Same way he grew Kwara abi

My man, when you become President I know the first assignment is to clip and shutdown mouth odor and successful grow Nigeria. Saraki is more salable than Atiku and Kwankwaso. I wish them luck.

Smart guy

We need to #GrowNigeria!
Anybody against Saraki's candidacy is an enemy of state!

Having said that, whoever emerges from today's presidential primaries has our votes to kick out the current caretakers of Aso Rock Villa.

Follow Person wey Sabi Road!!!

(uk/usa/europe) Foreign Mission Support Favor Saraki.

information reaching us is that the foreign mission have indicated that the Only way the opposition (PDP) will enjoy their massive and full support is if they pick the Senate president Saraki.

The different between buhari and all these PDP aspirant is that baba is a killer if nt they are all dsame

honestly If they do a free and farr election, this guy will dwarf buhari by votes

success all the way

Why?

He's gonna be the easiest ride for Buhari!

God please let Pd-pigs chose Mr. Mesujamba so that his political career will end in 2019!

would Saraki be a better President? just wondering

GavelSlam:
They should make sure he grabs the ticket.

Ofcourse so that he will do 2 -0. He will lose the secondary election and then no senate for him.
