The former governor also noted that by antecedent, he can reach across ethnic and religious divides of the country.

Meanwhile, Saraki had called on all ministers and other public office holders seeking electoral positions in the 2023 general elections to resign.
Saraki said this after a meeting of the National Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Pary (PDP) with the zonal and state youth leaders at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
He said there is no basis for anyone to remain in an appointed office while contesting for an elective office.
His words:
“I disagree with that. I mean, why should someone in political office use the influence of political office to contest? We talked about the participation of youths."
