2023: I Am Capable Of Leading Nigeria – Saraki

 

Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has said he is capable of leading Nigeria.

He said this during an interview on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics while responding to questions regarding his interest in the 2023 Presidential election.

“I believe I have what it takes to lead Nigeria,” Saraki said.

“I am not someone who shies away from taking up challenges. I am not someone who does not know the issues or someone who does not have the energy and vibrancy to address those issues.

“More importantly, I am someone that can reach out across the political divide, based on my antecedents. I am someone who can reach out across the ethnicity divide and the religious divide”.

According to Saraki, those are essential qualities needed to unite the country as it is today.

While the former Senate President has yet to officially declare his intentions to run for President, he, however, said he is currently consulting and in due course, he will make an appropriate announcement.

When asked if there’s a strong possibility for him to run for the number one office, he said: ‘Yes, there is a strong possibility.

“There are people who can provide solutions to the problems of the country give them the opportunity,” he added when asked of his closing words to Nigerians.

“Speaking of myself, I believe I have left a better mark wherever I have been”.

Addressing the highly-debated issue of zoning, the former Kwara Governor said although it is a great idea, a more important focus should be on finding the best person for the job.
