Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has dismissed insinuations that the move by the Peoples Democratic Party to pick a consensus presidential candidate for the party was aimed at scheming out former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
There was a meeting between Saraki and governors Bala Muhammed and Aminu Tambuwal, who are also seeking to have the sole PDP presidential ticket.
Saraki said, “Those making such insinuations are mischievous who never see any good out of anything. We are not shutting anybody out. As we said, we are going to see him (Atiku).
“We are going to see other aspirants. There are other aspirants in the party. This is not about shutting anybody out. It is about uniting everybody with the interests of this country. And, you will see when we begin to move around, but we are not limited to anybody.’
“The next meeting we are going to have again will be in Sokoto, which the governor of Sokoto will host. We want to inform you that we had good discussions.
“The more we meet, the more we continue to share our views about the importance of the unity of our party because we believe it is only PDP that has the solutions to help us get out of the problems we are in today.”
