A former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki has wooed Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party delegates for their votes, ahead of the May 28 and May 29 presidential primary election of the party.
In a meeting with PDP leaders in Ikeja on Monday evening, Saraki assured of granting Lagos a special status that will make the state an enviable hub for infrastructural and economic investments.
The former governor of Kwara said that Nigeria needed a president with action and courage to stand and take some very bold decisions to reposition the nation.
Saraki said, “Please, let me appeal to you, I am your own. Let us work together to ensure that we win at the federal and win at the state.
“There is nobody among all the aspirants that has the same history and closeness to Lagos State as myself. Do not leave your own to go look for someone outside.
“Together we can make this country better. My interest will be your interest. I want to appeal, don’t share your delegate votes, this is my own state. I beg you.”
He urged the delegates not to be deceived with any gratification, saying leadership that would make Nigeria better should be uppermost.
According to him, Nigeria needed a president who as a bridge builder, has the capacity, knowledge and experience to unite the people, and that he is the best bridge between the North and the South.
