People with special needs who were given 37 delegates to the PDP National Convention ongoing in Port Harcourt have adopted Senate President Bukola Saraki, pledging to give him all their votes.

Sources at a meeting between the Saraki team and the special needs delegates said that the delegates declared that only Saraki had come to campaign to them so far and that they would give him all their 37 votes.

Further investigations by News Express revealed that National Assembly members have decided to give the majority of their votes to Saraki.

A breakdown the voting preference shows that 138 of the federal lawmakers have pledged to vote for Saraki. Former Speaker Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, incumbent Governor of Sokoto State, is coming second on the National Assembly votes with 34 votes while former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is third with 28 votes.

All North Central delegate caucuses are reportedly supporting Saraki.

Reports indicate that North East delegates at the convention have decided to split their votes between Atiku and Saraki.

The decision is similar to that of delegates of the South East, who are sharing their votes between Saraki and Atiku.

The convention is ongoing at Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, capital of Rivers State.
