According to him, “Senator Saraki is not only a bridge builder who has his wings everywhere in the country, but he has the pedigree and is presently making inroads in the political space”.

 

“Over the years, Saraki has equipped himself with  the required exposure and experience from being a special assistant to the president to being a two-term governor and now Senate president. He has been through different stages of leadership and this makes him stand out among many other aspirants who have indicated interest to become president. Age is  on his side, and he has been able to unite the National Assembly and can be able to unite the country and move it forward,” he said.
