Former President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki said the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will shock Nigerians in the forthcoming 2023 general elections, regardless of the internal crisis the main opposition party is currently grappling with. Saraki stated this while speaking with newsmen shortly after the 10th memorial anniversary prayer in memory of his late father, Dr Abubakar Olusola Saraki, at the Ilorin Central Jumat Mosque on Monday.
He said the political differences between the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and G-5 governors led by Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike would soon be resolved and put behind them.
The former two-term governor of Kwara state said, “We will surprise Nigerians. We are going to work together to better the lot of Nigeria. This is because we all think about what is good for this country. Look at the poverty that is on the street. Look at how governance has not gone well.
“We will put Nigerians first because Nigerians want PDP back in power. The little difference between Governor Wike and Alhaji Abubakar, we will resolve them and at the end of the day whether is Wike or others all of us in PDP want a better Nigeria,” he added.
Saraki said, “The time he was convincing me to go into politics was not easy. In fact, it was a battle, I resisted it. But today, I can see that the greatest satisfaction in life is to see people progress.
