Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has cautioned members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to move away from personal ambition and focus on the party amid the current leadership crisis.

Addressing a gathering of PDP members in Abuja, Saraki said the PDP has come a long way and should not be sacrificed for individual aspirations.

Saraki’s caution comes amid the bickering within the former ruling party, which dates back to the build-up of the 2023 presidential election.

Chieftains like Nyesom Wike, Governor Seyi Makinde, and some other former governors had worked against PDP’s presidential candidate in 2023.

Since the last presidential election, the PDP has continued to witness a leadership crisis.

However, Saraki said: “The party was built on ideas, philosophies, and policies. Let us move away from building ideas on personal ambition. We cannot have an ambition if we don’t have a party. We cannot have a party if we don’t have ideas. This is where it starts.

“Let us stop talking about who is running for councillor, governor, or president in 2027. Let us focus on what the PDP represents. What are the issues and policies that we must address? This is what Nigerians want to know.

“The message we send to Nigerians is that this is a serious party. We are leaders. Let PDP lead in that way.”
