North has yet to choose a consensus candidate for 2023 – Sule Lamido

Former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido has debunked media reports suggesting the northern PDP has chosen a consensus candidate to represent the north ahead of the PDP 2023 presidential primaries election.

Saraki and Governor Bala Mohammed, according to statement signed by the church’s ex-Gov, have been picked as northern consensus, according to the statement credited to the northern elders.
The statement runs as follows:
Reports in the media have brought the attention of important PDP players in the Northern State that some Northern Elders have picked two of our outstanding and deserving contenders as consensus PDP Presidential Candidates.
Having widely consulted Party Leaders across the 19 Northern States and FCT, it is hereby stated to our teeming Party members and the general public that what is reported in the Media is only the personal opinion of those who issued the statement and not the position of the PDP members in the North! Discussions are ongoing with ALL the aspirants in our party with a view to having a National Consensus if possible or at least working towards having smooth acrimony free National Convention.
The position of the Northern Elders is not only injurious to the North but equally injurious to the Northern Aspirants!
