Bukola Saraki, a former Senate president, has addressed the PDP problem that is dividing the party.
In a message on his social media pages on Saturday, the former presidential candidate asserted that he had been quietly working behind the scenes to assure the party’s return to normalcy.
After the party’s primary election, which was held on May 29 in Abuja, the main opposition party earlier this year went through an extraordinary problem.
The PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, was called upon to resign by Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, and his followers on the grounds that he was responsible for Wike’s assassination.

Because Wike and his faction have sworn to campaign against the party’s presidential nominee, Atiku Abubakar, in the forthcoming election, the problem has exacerbated as a result of Ayu’s unwillingness to resign.
Recall that Wike and some PDP stakeholders withdrew from Atiku’s campaign council a few days ago, demanding that Ayu step down before the party could receive their support.
Atiku, however, continues to be the greatest choice for the nation, according to Saraki, who was a candidate during the primary election.
He stated, “I just got back from my yearly holiday and headed right to Akwa Ibom to participate in the celebration of the state’s 35th anniversary.
“Over the previous few days, as I travelled across the nation, I had the impression that many people were concerned about my apparent quiet over recent happenings in our party, the PDP.
“My response is that there are times to speak and be heard and there are times when working silently behind the scenes is more productive. This is such a time.
“PDP and Atiku Abubakar remain the best option for Nigerians in the 2023 polls”!
