Senate President, Bukola Saraki,
on Sunday disclosed that Kwara State will get the Senate President slot if the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), candidate, Atiku Abubakar, wins the 2019
presidential election.
Saraki spoke at a reception by
residents of Offa, where he led members of his party at a campaign rally in the
local government.
Atiku will slug it out with
President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on February
16.
Saraki said: “I had earlier told
my people that they can’t do the Offa campaign in my absence. They may do those
of others but not this one. Offa and Ilorin have a long history of
relationship. Once the two would agree on anything it is taken. I see myself as
a son of Offa.
“Our campaign has a definite plan
for Kwara state and Nigeria. Since we joined the PDP the party has honored
Kwara state, they gave us DG of Campaign, National Leader of the party and have
agreed that if the party wins, Senate President is our slot in Kwara. But what
has the other party to offer? If I have skeleton in my cupboard this government
would have silenced me and forced me to drop the campaign.
“But for God and the support of
the people I would not be standing today. They didnt want to honor our
agreement. We all laboured and what they couldn’t get in three times they got
it and we demanded that they give to Kwara what we deserve.
“We need to teach our seasonal
politicians a lesson on the poll date. We want community development, let
everybody come and contribute their quota to our communities; when Saraki do
his own and let them too do their own. I heard that some politicians have been
buying JAMB forms in 2019. The question to ask is where were they in 2016,
where were they in 2017?
