The National Caretaker Committee
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has finally spoken concerning
the report of his President ambition in 2019.
He also addressed the claim that
he wants a particular aspirant to emerge in order to work towards the
realisation of his presidential ambition.
When asked if he is considering
contesting the 2019 presidential election, the former Kaduna State Governor
told Punch, “At the moment, I have no reason to consider that, especially with
all the troubles in my head. My priority is to go to the convention and ensure
the process is free and fair and ensure we wrap it up as a family.”
On the allegation that he has a
preferred candidate, he added, “There are also allegations that some of them
are being used to support the presidential ambitions of someone within the
party and those of some people who are intending to join the party.
“Let us assume that is my case,
what about allegations against them that they are sponsoring people who have
yet to join the party? In any case, who among them has not spoken to me if I
had interest in this matter and what was my answer?
“My answer has always been this
‘Let ’s get it right with this convention first.’ He who comes to equity must
come with clean hands.
“I don ’t have a preferred
candidate. Each delegate is going to vote based on his or her preference.
“I am not going to hold the hands
of anybody to thumbprint . It is up to the delegates to choose whoever they
want at the election.”
