Former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki has joined the emerging crowd of presidential aspirants for the 2023 election in Nigeria.
Saraki, who announced his intention on his official Facebook page, said that his intention to serve as Nigeria’s President is based on his strong record of delivering and experience in making tough decisions at the time he was governor of Kwara and ex-Nigerian Senate president.
He wrote: “Earlier, I replied to a follower of mine on Twitter who like thousands of you has been clamouring for a united front to #RescueNigeria.
“As we prepare for the journey ahead, I hope we can all join hands to get the ticket of our great party, PDP, and build a nation that works for all of us.
“Join me to make our communities safer and provide real opportunities for you and your families. I have a strong record of delivering and experience in making tough decisions.
“Let’s build a new Nigeria that works for EVERYONE!”
So far, a number of high-profiled Nigerians declaring their interest to run the race to occupy Aso Rock is gaining momentum.
Another former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, who was the secretary to the government of the federation in former President Goodluck Jonathan’s six-year administration; Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former National Leader of the All Progressives Congress; Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State; Senate Chip Whip Orji Kalu and the former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha have indicated similar interest.
