The former Kwara state governor urged Nigerians not to pay attention to where he comes from and the religion he practices but elect him the president based on his competence just as he opined that the country needs a leader who is capable of uniting the country and restoring peace.
Saraki further urged Nigerians to choose a leader that will rebuild the nation’s universities, that will make fuel available and ensure constant electricity for an improved economy.
Defection: APC plotting 30-year ban for Saraki, Tambuwal, Ortom, others in fresh lawsuit
Following the recent judgment from the Federal High Court in Abuja evicting Governor David Umahi as the number one citizen of Ebonyi state, the All Progress Congress (APC) is on course to replicate a similar move on some of its members.
It was reported that the ruling party is taking legal steps that will see former party faithful like Bukola Saraki bag no fewer than a 30-year ban from vying for any elective office, a move prompted by the APC to punish former members who won under its umbrella and defected to another party.
Recall that Senator Bukola Saraki won his election under the umbrella of the APC before defecting to the PDP a few years later.
2023: Plot against Atiku thickens in PDP
Meanwhile, big wigs in the PDP, including former top military brass, were opposed to the fresh presidential bid of former vice-president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Regarded as among the main power brokers in the party since the inception of the PDP in 1998, the ex-military leaders were reportedly pushing for a paradigm shift in the contest for who would become the standard-bearer of the party.
Aside from their lieutenants still deeply entrenched in the system, the former leaders also wielded an awesome influence along with other power brokers in taking key decisions in the main opposition party.
