Some former presidents of the Senate have urged the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP), to unite and work hard in other to win the 2023 presidential elections.

The three former presidents of the Senate, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, Senator David Mark and Sen. Bukola Saraki, said this yesterday during the PDP North Central Zonal Congress held at the Aper Aku Stadium in Makurdi, Benue State.

Dr Ayu pleased at the return of one of the founding members of the party, Prof. Jerry Gana, affirmed that the present leaders of the party will work together to secure victory for the party at all levels in 2023.

“Now that the people of Nigeria have tasted a second wife, they now know how beautiful PDP is. And with the return of Gana, the PDP will get back on track in 2023 and the whole of North Central will be governed by the PDP.

“Even though Nigeria is on the verge of disintegration, Nigerians should not be deterred by the failed government of APC,” Ayu said, assuring that the PDP is coming up stronger and better to take over the governance in 2023.

Sen. David Mark on his part stated that the current situation in the country is of major concern for Nigerians hence the need to “change the change.”

The immediate past Senate President and Chairman, PDP Reconciliatory Committee, Dr. Bukola Saraki, noted that it was time for the North Central to go and reclaim its mandate from the remaining five states.

“It’s time for us to go back and reclaim our mandate from the remaining five states of the North Central because the zone belongs to PDP and that journey has started with the return of Jerry Gana. The future of Nigeria rests with the PDP,” Saraki said.

He also charged all PDP leaders to work together in unity to recover the mandate.

“We must also continue to retain FCT. We must go back and send a message that PDP has woken up and is now on the map to take the country,” Saraki said.
