“The successful aspirants are hereby urged to work together to make allowance for further consultations to foster understanding among themselves and the PDP community to ensure a rancour-free primaries in which all eligible candidates would be free to exercise their right.

“In the first phase, the opinions of six distinguished persons each from the three geo-political zones were sought with regards to each of the four aspirants.

Revealing the outcome of the vote, the elder statesman said Aminu Tambuwal polled 7 votes, while the Bauchi governor got 10 votes 10 votes for Bukola Saraki, and 5 votes for Mohammed Hayatu-deen.
