Kwara State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer in the forthcoming governorship election, Dr Bukola Saraki has called on all aggrieved party members especially fellow contestants for the party's ticket to come together in to the overall interest of the party.

Saraki said the need to reconcile with fellow aspirants and party members was the only veritable means of redeeming the long tortuous time which the people had waited to be free from the bondage of bad governance.

He said as the gubernatorial candidate of the party, the onus of redressing the enormous years of unprecedented intimidation rested on him.

Saraki noted that the time had come when all Kwarans need to come together to salvage the state from the quagmire in which those who were entrusted to govern had thrown the State.

He said that Kwarans, among other things needed to have their confidence restored.

Saraki assured the people that he was bent on ensuring that government promotes their basic needs of shelter, food and clothing even as he pointed out that justice, fair play and respect for their rights would top his priority agenda.
