WITH the return to the party of Senate President Bukola Saraki, Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State and Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has found itself with a crowded field of presidential aspirants for next year’s election. “We are listening to Nigerians because we don’t want to be victims of impunity and imposition. We will signpost the one Nigerians want, that personality that will form government to replace this incompetent and helpless administration of President Muhammadu Buhari,” he said. Others already in the race are a former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido; a former Kano State governor, Ibrahim Shekarau; a former Sokoto State governor, Attahiru Bafarawa; educationist, Dr Ahmed Datti and the outgoing governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, even though he is outside the area the post has been zoned to. Even though speculation point to the fact that they will contest for the PDP’s presidential ticket, Saraki, Tambuwal and Kwankwaso have yet to officially inform the PDP leadership.
