A former President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has expressed confidence that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will be on the ballot in the 2027 general elections.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with LEADERSHIP on Thursday, Saraki said Nigerians who have experienced the value of the PDP while it was in power would ensure the party’s presence on the ballot in 2027.

He further emphasized the need to make every effort to ensure that aspirants can contest elective positions on the PDP platform.

“I’m happy to say that despite whatever side anybody finds himself or herself in these disagreements, everybody has resolved that this is the number one priority for all of us, wherever you find yourself. Whether you are Governor Seyi Makinde, Governor Bala, the FCT Minister, or anyone else — including those who are neither — the key priority is that PDP must be able to field candidates for the 2027 elections.

“Anything that will harm that or make it impossible must be set aside and resolved. I think that is where we are now, and it has not been easy to reach this position. We hope to maintain it and move forward.

“The processes to achieve this are very clear. We must have a National Working Committee that will be able to deliver on this,” he said. (LEADERSHIP)
