Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki |
Senate President and Presidential aspirant under the platform of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has said
that Nigerians deserve a President with proven capacity and capability
in 2019.
Saraki made the assertion in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital,
during the commencement of his nationwide “Meet the delegates” campaign
starting from Ebonyi and Enugu States.
Saraki, who was given a very warm welcome by enthusiastic party
loyalists and supporters in Ebonyi State during a reception organized in
his honour at the Ebonyi State Banquet Hall, told his audience, which
included Governor Dave Umahi, his Deputy, Barr. Eric Kelechi, Speaker,
Ebonyi State House of Assembly, former Governor of the State, Senator
Sam Egwu, PDP state chairman and other stakeholders, that if elected he
will run an inclusive government to ensure equity and fairness in the
country.
He further told his audience that Nigeria is at a major crossroads in
its developmental history and that at a “critical period such as this,
the President Nigeria deserves must be the very best available with
proven capacity, knowledge and capability.”
He congratulated Governor Umahi on his excellent performance in the
state which led to his endorsement for a second term by the state PDP
stakeholders and also seized the opportunity to request for similar
endorsement by the Ebonyi state delegates to the PDP national
convention.
In his response, Governor Umahi, praised the Senate President for his
achievements as eight year Governor of Kwara State and President of the
Senate since 2015.
He affirmed that from Saraki’s eloquent and excellent delivery before
his host, they would seriously consider his request for the endorsement
of his candidacy by the state delegates to the PDP’s National
Convention.
