It emerged yesterday that leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are running from pillar to post over the party’s presidential aspirants who seem to be set for a showdown in the battle for the party’s ticket.
So far, there are 12 presidential aspirants in the race and whoever becomes PDP’s presidential candidate is expected to be the main challenger of President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 presidential election.
But the prospect of a consensus candidate emerging from the ranks of the PDP presidential aspirants appears slim, as they are all poised to slug it out for the party’s ticket at the party’s primaries scheduled to hold on October 6 this year.

LEADERSHIP gathered that most of the aspirants have resolved to test their popularity at the party’s convention, with the hope that it is going to be a free and fair primaries by the party leadership.

Submitting his presidential nomination forms yesterday, Senate President Bukola Saraki played down the possibility of a consensus candidate emerging, stressing that what is important for the party is having a free and credible primaries.

The senate president who was accompanied by some of his loyalists to the PDP national secretariat, said, “I don’t think the consensus thing is the issue before us because we are trying to ensure that there is internal democracy in the system and a very credible primaries. What is important is that at the end of the day we have something that is rancour-free.

“What I can tell you is that we are working together because we are still part of one family. I believe at the end of the day, we will have a process that whoever emerges will be supported by all of us so that there will be no need dividing ourselves.

“We are happy as a party that we have competent people managing the process. It is your responsibility to ensure that the best man emerges and to ensure that there is credibility in the process so that it will be acceptable to all.”

The Senate president added that what is important for them is the lives of millions of Nigerians who are going through such a tough time and who now believe that it is only through the PDP that that can happen.

He continued: “We will play our own part in ensuring that we unite every body. It has always been my antecedent to provide unity, to provide leadership in this kind of scenario. I can assure you I will play my role in uniting all of us because we are part of one family and we are actually part of one family.

“Our problem is not in PDP but in the other party. So, we will stay united to carry out this exercise as a family affair and we will ensure that the party will also show that we will do something that is respected across the world so that that will give us the platform to go and deliver.”

On his part, another presidential aspirant of the party, Senator Jonah Jang said he will never step down for any other aspirant and that not even his party can ask him to do so.

Speaking with journalists in Abuja yesterday, the former governor of Plateau State said, “If I am to step down, why would I be aspiring in the first place?

Its deceptive and very treacherous for people likely David Mark, saraki, Atiku and whoever has been in government during the 16 years of maladministration of the PDP, to come out now and be talking 'restructuring'. They are not sincere with Nigerians. They just want to use 'restructuring'as a bait. They want sympathy from gullible members of the society.
They should tell us why and how restructuring was never in their diction for the 16 years they jointly plundered our Commonwealth. When they were making the illegitimate billions with which they are contesting to be president today, why did they not think of restructuring? When Jonathan was paying # 17billionnaira annually to the National Assembly just to pass budgets, why was restructuring not a necessity? When billions in American dollars was approved for non existing contracts those 16 years, no restructuring. They can not fool us with this new slogan, we know what their intentions are but I am certain that they have failed already

Saraki that cannot unite with his Biological sister want to unite Nigeria, Oga charity begins at home!

All the political histrionics playing out in the course of this oncoming PDP Primaries indicate that PMB is a very popular candidate and a strong demigod in the northern hemisphere.

To make the 2019 presidential election a tough match, i advise that the APC should allow the PDP to feed their 3 best popular presidential candidates on the ballot paper at the same time. Then their votes will be add up as one against Buhari's votes. Anything short of this my candid advice is going to be a disgraceful calamity for the PDP

They PDP never see anything yet.

The usual name callings, which is often an after effect of huge egos ruggedly battered will soon start making the rounds.

Transfer window isn't shut yet, some will still come back to their vomits at APC, while some will drop their babaringas, find an "OGBENE" to tuck in their bullion bellies with which they have been swallowing our monies, just to fit into a shirt and pants and start shouting " Not-too-young-to-rule", because they are so shameless, it pricks their consciences not, to sit and eat that which should be for their kids.

They won't have a shame joining the not too young to rule movement if they feel their thieving ambitions would be realised from there.

Animals parading as humans.

Shameless and lacking in integrity and morals...

Enjoy my siggy

For those who might not know what ogbene means, na im our mama take dey tie us for back that year. E be like say na girdle dem dey call am now...

Grandiose delusion!

One thing we need to always remember is: both PDP and APC are parties made up of people whom have disappointed Nigerians in one capacity or the other at certain time....all we need now is fresh people with fresh ideologies and mindset. But talking about buhari I will only wish him well if only he will allow PYO to pilot d affairs of d nation while he just sit back and observe as an old man other wise I may choose RMK(Kwankwaso) or SBS(Saraki) irrespective of who Nigerians say they are. May God deliver us from dicey leadership come 2019.
