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.
