One of the 13 aspirants jostling for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential ticket, Tanimu Turaki, has asked PDP delegates to vote for the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, if, for whatever reasons, they rejected him.

According to a reliable source, Turaki claimed that only him and Saraki possess the pedigree, competence and character to solve Nigeria’s problems.

The former Minister said , should the delegates reject him, that they should however, not hesitate to vote for Saraki whom he said is his brother.

According to him, “People have been arguing that there are a lot of presidential aspirants in PDP. And people are laying ambush, thinking that this election process will create a lot of problem that they could benefit from.

“And all of us are speaking to ourselves as speaking to each other.

“And we agree that anybody who gets the ticket among us, that others will line up behind him.

“Both of us have experience. Both of us have knowledge and integrity.

“Both of us have character and both of us have that competence. And when you look at our antecedents, our backgrounds, our pedigree, it’s impeccable.

“So I say to Nigerians, particularly PDP delegates, for if for whatever reasons you don’t want me, take Abubakar Bukola Saraki as my brother.

“I believe that between the two of us, that the problems of Nigeria will be solved decisively,” he concluded.
