A Chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and former member of the House of Representatives in Bauchi State, Sani Toro has described a front-line aspirant in the National Chairmanship race of the party, Gbenga Daniel as the candidate who stands out among other contenders.
Sani made this remark while addressing the newsmen in Bauchi on Friday at the visit of Daniel to Party Delegates and stakeholders in the state.

“For a man who has governed a state for eight years and won elections, he is capable to lead this party better than anyone. Among all other individuals vying for this position, he stands out.
“I want to admonish him to reach out to his colleagues; former Governors, serving Governors. They hold a powerful position in the party.”
Meanwhile, Chieftains and members of the Party in Bauchi State have assured Daniel of their support at the December 9 Convention.
The position of the party was made known by its State Deputy Chairman, Garba Dahiru while welcoming the campaign entourage of Otunba Daniel to Bauchi State on Friday.
According to him, “Otunba Gbenga Daniel, I am assuring you that your aspiration will be a smooth sail. We very much know that PDP will be safe in your hand and we are confident that the party will be delivered in your care.

In his remark, Daniel thanked members of the party for standing firm when others left as a result of the tsunami assuring party faithful that their dedication will not be in vain.
He admonished members of the party in the state to walk the streets proud with their shoulders high as the party has been responsible for virtually all the development across the country reiterating that Nigerians have come to realize the mistake in electing the ruling party and ready to support the PDP.
