Senate President Bukola Saraki
says the major thrust of his presidential aspiration is to unite the nation and
set it on the path of sustainable economic growth.
Saraki made this known while
addressing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders and members in Enugu on
Thursday.
Speaking at the party’s
secretariat, Saraki said Nigeria needs a president that will unite the country.
“It takes a politician who knows
the problems of the masses to bring solution and unity to the people,” he said.
He said Nigerians are currently
facing difficult times with the number of unemployed rising daily and that most
families could not feed well.
“I am here to tell you that we
have a project. The country is not as it was three years ago. We are all
concerned about the insecurity in the land, the unemployment and hunger in the
country,” he said.
“Many youths today do not have
any job and the future is not okay for them and we do not have time to continue
to wait and things continue to deteriorate.”
According to Saraki, “for me and
us in the national assembly, it is not for personal ambition, we have continued
to fight for the right of the people, for justice and freedom in this
democracy.
“We are fighting for people to be
able to exercise and express their views and opinions without any form of
intimidation or oppression.
“We have gone through a lot, I
and your son, Ike Ekweremadu, since we have decided to fight for what is
right”.
Saraki urged the people of Enugu
south-east to stand by him as he plans to change the leadership of the
executive.
“A president that understands the
issues facing Nigerians, a president that will unite the whole country, that
will create jobs and identify with the youths in their aspirations.
“Without unity and working
together we cannot build a progressive nation,’’ he said.
The senate president said he
would create a conducive environment for innovation and businesses to thrive in
the country, especially among enterprising youths within the south-east.
