Saraki pointedly expressed his readiness to work together with the PDP Presidential flag bearer to form the next government at the federal and other levels “in a manner that we will unite the country, grow the economy, carry along all stakeholders, empower the youths and make government serve the people better.
“Like I said in my speech at the convention after the official declaration of Alhaji Atiku as winner, all the other aspirants, especially myself, are ready to walk and work with him to spread the positive message of the PDP and his campaigns across the nooks and crannies of the country such that the PDP will win the 2019 general elections.

According to Saraki, the just concluded convention was a partisan event which the country can show-case as an example that democracy has a future in Nigeria “and that when we are determined we can elect our leaders without any manipulation, intimidation and violation of the law and democratic norms.”
