Former British High Commissioner, Paul Thomas Arkwright, was in Nigeria recently and one of his hosts was the former senate president, Bukola Saraki.
Bukola Saraki joined the growing ranks of those jostling to replace President Muhammadu Buhari when he ends his tour of duty on May 29, 2023.
Saraki is the second former Senate President to throw his hat in the ring. Former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, had earlier declared his ambition, which is gaining traction nationwide.
Saraki’s declaration is also coming after those of some chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC), including former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi; Senate Chip Whip and former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu; and former Imo State, Governor Rochas Okorocha.
The former Kwara State Governor said he has a strong record of delivering on his mandate and experience in making tough decisions.
