The ambition of former Kwara State Governor, Bukola Saraki to emerge as the successor of incumbent Senate President, David Mark, received a major boost recently.
Saraki’s ambition seem to have been expressly endorsed by some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators-elect as they attended a meeting organised by some All Progressives Congress (APC) senators who are in support of Saraki’s emergence as Nigeria’s 3rd citizen.
According to Punch, the meeting which was held at the prestigious Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja had 65 senators-elect present.
A source who was at the meeting named Akwa Ibom governor, Godswill Akpabio, Abia State Chief Executive, Theodore Orji and former governor of Ebonyi State, Sam Egwu, as some of the PDP senators who were present at the parley.
The source said, “For now, the PDP has not endorsed any candidate but some of us are in support of Saraki because the APC leaders appear to be supporting Lawan.”
