“We the PDP are united in our focus to rescue Nigeria. My colleagues and our leader, the former senate president, have come to confer and have a heart-deep discussion on the way forward for this country and the PDP so that we can take power in 2023,” he said.
“They are leaders that I respect. They are leaders that also respect our leader, the Wazirin Adamawa, and they have visited him and had their discussion with him. They are looking at the option of having this consensus. Like they have said, they cannot unite this country if they cannot also unite themselves as aspirants.
“I think they deserve our support and deserve the support of Nigerians and I think they are capable and able to rescue this country.”
