It’ll Be Shameful If PDP Is Not On 2027 Ballot – Saraki

Dr Bukola Saraki

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has warned that it would be shameful if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) fails to appear on the ballot in the 2027 general elections. He recently had his say while speaking to Channels Television at the party’s 2026 National Convention held at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the primary motivation behind ongoing reconciliation moves within the PDP is to ensure that members have a viable platform to contest future elections.

Describing the road to the convention as a difficult one, he noted that he and others involved in reconciliation efforts keep facing criticism.

His words, “Let us be able to allow people that want to contest for 2027 on PDP platform. It would be a shame if, by an own goal, one way or the other, we’re not on that ballot.

It’s been a long journey to get to here… in the process, one had to take a lot of attacks here and there.

When I walked in here, saw the attendance, saw INEC here, I said… Alhamdulillah. Because that’s the issue. Everything else… doesn’t matter.

They’re excited that now they can follow their ambition, because now they have a platform and PDP can provide that platform.

For those who are not here, I hope that the doors are not closed… I will continue to talk to them and engage with them.

The issues about we, the leaders, we should put it behind… what is more important now is the young man… the young lady… who wants the PDP platform.”

WOW.
