PDP PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES: Turaki begs delegates to vote for Saraki

A presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Tanimu Turaki has asked his supporters to vote for Dr Bukola Saraki at the party’s ongoing convention in Port Harcourt, RIvers State.

Tanimu who is among the 13 aspirants jostling for the PDP presidential ticket in the 2019 elections, told delegates that if for whatever reason they don’t want to vote for him, they should vote for Saraki.

According to him, only he and Saraki, whom he described as his brother, possess the pedigree, competence and character to solve Nigeria’s problems.

He said, “People have been arguing that there are a lot of presidential aspirants in PDP. And people are laying ambush, thinking that this election process will create a lot of problem that they could benefit from.

”So I say to Nigerians, particularly PDP delegates, for if for whatever reasons you don’t want me, take Abubakar Bukola Saraki as my brother.

“I believe that between the two of us, that the problems of Nigeria will be solved decisively,” he stated.
