Presidency 2023: Saraki consultation train rails to Katsina
The Contact and Advocacy Council of former President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), railed the consultation train to Katsina State.
The consultation team was led by a former Nigerian High Commissioner to Canada, Professor Iyorwuese Hagher, to solicit for the support of PDP stakeholders in Katsina State, lobbying prospective delegates to support Saraki at the PDP national convention for the election of the presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections.
The Council led by Ambassador Iyorwuese Hagher comprises of Ibrahim Shehu Bakauye, Muhammad Shafa Lafiya, Hajiya Hadiza Bukar Gombe, Sen. Sulaiman Hassan Sarawa, Hajiya Hadiza Mome, Binta Bello Gombe and Dr. Musa Ahmed Ibrahim.
Professor Hagher noted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) only succeeded in dividing Nigeria than uniting the country, denoting that Bukola Saraki is a populist candidate across Nigeria, the candidate the country needs for better leadership.
According to Hagher “He is a true Democrat with courage and not a civilian dictator. He has an ear to listen like the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. He is an extension of late Yar’Adua.”

Acknowledging the threats from the bandits uprising and insecurity in the country, Prof. Hagher lamented that Katsina State had suffered the most, and its future compromised.
Hagher highlighted: “Katsina State has the second-highest number of out of school children; while the APC government is yet to fix the education sector with incessant ASUU strikes becoming the order of the day.
“So, Bukola Saraki can wipe away the tears of Nigerians because he understands what diversity means.”
The PDP State Chairman in Katsina, Salisu Yusuf Majigiri, hosting the Bukola Saraki’s Contact and Advocacy Council at the Katsina PDP Headquarters, said he is disappointed by the decision of the APC government not to announce the increase in the price of crude oil in the international market for the benefit of Nigerians, noting that instead the government kept mute since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Crude sold at $110 per barrel this week.
