A presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has said the PDP consensus was not a party affair but a communal responsibility.
Asked about Governor Aminu Tambuwal’s grievance over the emergence of Mohammed and former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, as the PDP’s consensus candidates, Mohammed said the responsibility of choosing a consensus candidate was put on a Northern elder.
“Yes, we had discussed earlier on that this thing was taking long and we’re almost getting to the point that each aspirant will submit his form and the rest; the thing is not working as we wanted, because what we did was to come together out of our free volition…and we thought we would reduce rancour, close rank and give one of the elders, not the PDP elders, one of the elders of the North; it is not a party affair. It is not a party responsibility.
