Senate President Bukola Saraki is
currently in a meeting with chairmen of “45 political parties”.
The nation’s number three citizen
disclosed this in a tweet on Thursday.
The purpose of the meeting is not known but it comes 24 hours after the senate president visited ex-military President Ibrahim Babangida in Niger state.LIVE VIDEO: I am now meeting with the National Chairmen of 45 political parties at my office in the Senate.https://t.co/Y0QrxpKxc9— Bukola Saraki (@bukolasaraki) August 9, 2018
Saraki avoided journalists when
he left IBB’s Minna, Niger state, residence.
He met with IBB shortly after he
gave a hint of nursing a presidential ambition.
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.”
