SAN FRANCISCO, October 19, (THEWILL) – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has sent the name of the President of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki, to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as a senatorial candidate.
Saraki, who represents Kwara Central District in the Senate, was among the aspirants of the party submitted to the commission in Abuja on Thursday night.
He came third at the party’s national convention which was held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
While Saraki paid for the PDP nomination and expression of interest forms, it was however not clear if he paid for that of the Senate as well.
It had initially been speculated that the former governor of Kwara State was among the suspected presidential aspirants in the party who had another plan since they knew they could lose the PDP presidential nomination.
