Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, a former president of the senate, Dr Bukola Saraki on Monday led two other presidential aspirants, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State and his Sokoto State counterpart, Amimu Tambauwal to Benue State to consult with Benue State Goveror, Samuel Ortom.
The trio said they were in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, as a team to hold private discussions with Ortom in furtherance of their ambitions as well as in the interest of the country.
Saraki, who addressed Ortom on behalf of the team, disclosed that they decided to form a unity team, mainly to enable them reach a consensus among themselves in the days ahead.
He stressed that they took the initiative to work as a team without anybody forcing them to do so, adding that it became necessary because the country was too divided by personal interests.
He said, “I’m here today with my two brothers, the governor of Sokoto State, His Excellency, Aminu Tambuwal and of course, the governor of Bauchi State, His Excellency, Bala Mohammed. We are here today as part of our ongoing consultation of three of us who have shown indication to aspire for presidency under our great party.
TMSnews gathered that the trio will be meeting with Atiku Abubakar, former vice president of Nigeria to discuss and consolidate the options available to them.
