During the question and answer
session at a press conference on the blockade of the national assembly by
operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), Saraki was asked if he
would be vying for the highest office in the land and he did not deny having
such ambition.
He, however, said at the moment,
he wanted to talk about democracy, adding that he would answer the question on
another day.
“We are here today about the
democracy of this country, and that is what is important to me and to all of us
that are here,” he said.
“I think when the time is right I
will talk on your issue but today, we are talking about democracy in Nigeria,
to defend the rule of law.”
The meeting with the former
military ruler was ongoing as of the time this report was filed.
According to NAN, Saraki landed
at Minna International Airport around 4:10pm and drove straight to the hilltop
home of the former maximum ruler.
It was not clear whether Saraki
came to discuss his presidential ambition with Babangida.
