Media mogul, Dele Momodu has disclosed that Senate President Bukola Saraki will join the 2019 presidential race. Momodu said this in a lengthy statement on his ‘Boss Newspaper’.
It read in part: “The Boss can exclusively reveal that Senate
President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has joined the 2019 Presidential
race. “There is no doubt that he would be a formidable force that should
not be ignored because only few politicians in Nigeria today have the
pedigree, the experience, the clout and the connection of Senator
Saraki. “Impeccable sources reveal that as he plots his move for the
Presidency, he is said to be considering building alliances with all
Nigerians of like minds. “He is also considering using the Deputy Senate President, Senator
Ike Ekweremadu as his running mate. Having already exhibited the ability
to work seamlessly with politicians from the two main political
parties, it is a path he can easily thread.
“Having risen to the enviable position of the number three citizen,
the only place to go for the two-term Senator and former two-term
governor is up! Indeed, Saraki is not new to the dynamics of power
politics, he is the scion of a political dynasty that is well-known
across the nation.
“He has all the criteria that a modern Nigerian president should
have, he is tall, urbane, suave, charismatic, cool and collected. But
behind this charm, is a man of steel who is never afraid to pursue
causes that he feels are right and just.
“Saraki is one of those rare breeds who is street smart as well as
book smart. This was evident when he steered his political path away
from his father, and triumphed without breaking up the family or the
people’s faith in his leadership abilities. “Those who know, say he is counting on his youthfulness and ability
to connect with the youths and his strategy will be to spread the “I am
one of you” message and show his track record of working with young
technocrats and turning them into prolific achievers. “Of course, like everything in life, Saraki would have to navigate
through thorny paths to reach the Presidential Villa, he surely has many
challenges ahead. “The most important challenge, according to our source, is the
perception that he is corrupt This has been a damaging blow to his
profile, little wonder that Saraki has not taken this allegation lying
down.”
