Former Senate President Bukola Saraki, Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, and Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal are ready to form a coalition to fight for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, whomever is chosen from the three would face former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who has already acquired the party’s presidential nomination form.
Saraki told reporters during a meeting in Bauchi State on Sunday that the PDP is the only viable option to the failing APC (APC).

On behalf of Tambuwal and Mohammed, the former governor of Kwara State revealed that their discussion was about selecting a consensus Northern aspirant.
Saraki said, “We came here and had a meeting for about two hours now all the three of us that have shown interest in leading this country, our concern for the hardship our people are going through, the high cost of living and also looking ahead towards 2023.
“It is very clear that the PDP is the only viable solution to rescue this country today and to provide new hope. And as such, as key stakeholders of this party, it is important for us to sit down and meet and put heads together and see how best we can provide leadership and direction.
“In so doing, we met and discussed that with 2023 ahead of us and in trying to rescue this country, the unity, stability and growth of the country are more important than individual ambitions. We believe that if the three of us that are working together honestly, committed and with a lot of zeal for this country, there will be a great hope for this country going forward.

“We appreciate that the three of us have shown aspirations to lead this country and what we have come to realize is that we are all competent and capable to lead this country but at the end of the day, it is only one person that will lead this country in 2023. We have also resolved that we will work closely together to ensure that we will come out with a consensus candidate among the three of us.
“We believe our role is to make things easier for us to have stability because if there is stability in PDP, there will be stability in Nigeria. You’ve all seen that APC is no longer a party, it is having challenges of administering its party and anybody that cannot administer a party cannot lead the country.”
