A Peoples Democratic Party, PDP chieftain, Earl Osaro Onaiwu, has stated that former Presidential aspirant, Senator Bukola Saraki, is not desirous to occupy the seat of the National Chairman of the party.

This is coming on the heels of the rumour that the former Senate President, may be drafted to take up the mantle of leadership of the PDP in what political analysts termed “these confusing times in the party.”

But in a statement on Wednesday morning, Onaiwu, a former Director General of the Saraki Campaign Organisation and former Director General of the Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF, said Sen. Bukola Saraki was grateful for the love shown him by PDP faithful across the country who are clamoring that he should help return the party to its former leadership role in the country.

Part of the statement reads, “Dr. Saraki for now, is more interested in the stability and peace of the country. He is also busy attending to family matters with an aged mother to look after.”

Onaiwu stated that the “former Kwara State governor, has been playing in the background and has been holding the party together since after the general elections earlier in the year. There are other former presidential aspirants that can become chairman. I can tell you on good authority that the issue is not an option for Saraki.”

“Dr. Saraki is a utility player who has been holding the party together through several interventions. We believe he can still be playing deep in the party’s affairs without being the chairman,” Onaiwu said.

The Cross River State chapter of the Relax Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria (RTIFN) has urged Nigerians, particularly Cross Riverians, to remain confident in President Bola Tinubu’s administration, insisting that the Renewed Hope Agenda is delivering on its promise of national development.

The group also commended the Cross River State Government and residents of the state for their massive participation in the presidential campaign council rally held on November 2, 2026, at the U.J. Esuene Stadium, Calabar.

In a statement, the state coordinator of RTIFN, Cross River State, Engr. Anjor Obande, alongside members of the state executive council, local government and ward coordinators, praised Governor Bassey Otu and the First Lady, Apostle Dr. Eyoanwan Bassey Otu, for the successful hosting of the rally.

The group described the impressive turnout as a demonstration of the people’s support for President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and Governor Otu’s People’s First agenda.

Obande and members of the state executive council said the large attendance reflected the growing acceptance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River State, expressing confidence in the party’s prospects in future elections.

RTIFN further commended the organisation and outcome of the rally, reaffirming its commitment to mobilising support for President Tinubu and Governor Otu.

The event was attended by Vice-President Kashim Shettima, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, members of the National Assembly, national and state executives of the APC, members of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), national representatives of RTIFN and various support groups.

Also present were APC members, residents from the 18 local government areas of Cross River State, visitors from other states and members of the media.

The group described the massive turnout as a strong expression of political solidarity and reiterated its determination to sustain grassroots mobilisation in support of the Renewed Hope and People’s First agendas.
