Dr. Bukola Saraki makes passionate call for unity, urges members not to abandon party in critical moment

Former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has called on members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to remain committed and resilient in the face of the party’s internal challenges, stressing the importance of unity and dedication to rebuilding the party.

Dr. Bukola Saraki made the appeal in a heartfelt statement shared on his official Facebook page on Wednesday, following his participation in a PDP Consultative Conference convened by one of the party’s founding fathers, Professor Jerry Gana.

“It was an honour to join the founding fathers and stakeholders of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party, today at the Consultative Conference,” Dr. Bukola Saraki wrote.

The former Senate President highlighted the PDP’s legacy of national development, pointing out that during its 16 years in power, Nigeria emerged as Africa’s largest economy and experienced greater national unity.

“Let’s not abandon a ship in need of repairs. If you must leave, let it be on ideology not anger,” Saraki urged.

“The ultimate goal must be to put Nigeria first and rise above the propaganda designed to divide us as a party.”

He praised Professor Gana for bringing party stakeholders together for what he called a “family meeting,” and reaffirmed his personal dedication to the PDP, declaring that he would never abandon the party.

“The PDP was built on solid foundations. Its founders handed it over to us with trust. God forbid that we become the generation that lets it fall apart,” Saraki stated.

“I urge all true patriots of the PDP to agree that for the greater good of Nigeria, leaving is not an option.”
