On Wednesday, the President of the 8th Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, met with aspirants for the House of Representatives and House of Assembly in Kwara State under the People’s Democratic Party PDP platform.

The interactive session held in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, also included Party Elders and stakeholders across the state.

According to the Press Officer on Local Matters to Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, Abdulganiyu Abdulqadir, the meeting was to ensure candidates for the forthcoming general elections emerge preferably through a consensus and transparent process without malice or internal conflicts.

Speaking at the well-attended meeting, Dr. Saraki said he was delighted to see many qualified individuals showing interest to represent the various constituencies in the interest of Kwara State.

He noted that the development indicates the readiness of the PDP to wrestle power from the present government.

While expressing hope that the best will emerge in the party’s interest and the people, he called for unity, understanding, and sacrifice from the party members.

He also appealed to elders and stakeholders to ensure that the process was fair and transparent enough to produce the most popular candidate to guarantee victory at the polls.

The party leader warned the party leadership against imposing candidates, the autocratic process, and what he called “Jamba” zoning.

Saraki, a National leader of the PDP, expressed optimism that “our party will achieve consensus in the emergence of candidates as we work to strengthen our party’s chances in 2023.”
