Former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has appealed to Nigerians to back the Peoples Democratic Party to return to power at the centre in 2023.
Saraki made the appeal while inaugurating some projects and programmes executed by Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
He stated that there are still some PDP stalwarts with capacity and integrity like Okowa.
He lamented that Nigeria is currently in bad shape, with worsening and alarming cases of insecurity and economic problems.
Saraki, therefore, urged the people to give PDP another chance at the nation’s leadership to make the difference.
He said, “It gives me great pleasure to be here and to be part of this inauguration. For four years in the Senate we sat next to each other and I worked very closely with you when we passed the National Health Bill; I am very pleased with your performance here in Delta.
“It is on record that in our party, anytime we have difficult assignments we come to you because of your competence, integrity and commitment to duty.
“Our country is passing through some difficulties and I appeal to Nigerians to give PDP the chance again to lead Nigeria and you will see the difference.
“Your administration’s commitment to the growth and development of Asaba capital city is laudable and commendable.”
The former Senate President stated that Nigeria’s future would depend on infrastructure as being provided in Delta, adding, “We are proud of what we as PDP government is doing here in Delta.”
Some of the inaugurated projects include DLA Road, adjoining streets Government Primary School, Junior Staff Quarters, all in Asaba.
