A Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential aspirant, Dr. Attahiru Bafarawa has said that presidential aspirants under the platform of the party were working together to remove President Muhammadu from Aso Rock in 2019.
Bafarawa said this during his consultation with the Edo State chapter of the PDP in Benin ahead of the October 2018 National Convention of the party.
He said that the large number of presidential aspirants in the PDP was an indication that the party was growing big even as he disclosed that the aspirants have all agreed to support whoever gets the presidential ticket.
He said, “I believe we all have already agreed that however get the ticket we are going to work together with him.
“Forget the number of aspirants. The number of aspirants showed that the party is growing big and the only party in the country.
“Forget limited and liability party but ours is Public limited company (Plc). So, you expect the shareholders to be many.
“The number of aspirants is not something to fear and worry about. We are together. We are united and our main common objective is to get APC out of power because it is a disaster.
“If we allow the party to remain in power in the next four years I believe there will be no Nigeria. We want to unite our country, and therefore, we the aspirants have already unite ourselves for a common goal.”
Bafarawa said that since all the aspirants have collected forms, there should be no moral justification for the party not to go for indirect primary.
He said, “We are not going to change our constitution. Consensus is for APC but ours is indirect primary. Since the party has sold forms to all the aspirants because we are all qualified, and there is nobody the party can say is not qualified.
“It is now left for the party’s delegates to decide. Once delegates decide there is nothing anybody can do.”
