President of the Nigerian Senate,
Bukola Saraki has stated that until the country has a president that has the
capacity to govern and understands the economy, it will not make progress.
Saraki stated this in Akure, the
Ondo State capital on Friday during his nationwide tour of his aspiration to
obtain the party’s presidential ticket.
Saraki, a presidential aspirant
of the party who was received at the party secretariat by leaders and members
of the party urged the delegates in the state to elect someone with leadership
skills who can pull the country out of her doldrums.
“The country is at the crossroad,
the country has never been so bad, many of the citizens do not have a sense of
belonging. You cannot have progress without unity.
“There is need for us to unite
this country, there is need for us to have a president that represents
everybody’s interest. A president that believes in equity and justice.
“Let us put sentiments aside, let
us put a man that can deliver, let’s put a man who has shown that he has
delivered before.”
The presidential aspirant further
stated that if the country must align with developed countries, focus must be
channelled towards an energetic leader with proven track records.
“We have seen the new order in
the world and the new order is that young people are the ones in the helms of
leadership.
“We all talk about Asian tigers,
they did not get there by chance, they got there because they have visionary
leaders. It is time for us to bring a visionary leader to Nigeria.
“The greatest problem of this
country is leadership because they don’t have vision, they don’t have idea,
they don’t know where they want to take this country to.
“Let’s put sentiments aside, it’s
time to bring in visionary leaders.”
He maintained that the current
leadership of the country lacks the will to rescue the country and assured that
if given the mandate, he will ensure that the country attain her glorious
height.
“You cannot give what you don’t
have. With all due respect to the leadership we have now, they don’t have it.
It is time to have the leadership that is vibrant, that’s young, that’s
credible, that’s courageous and determined.
“When a man has shown leadership,
it’s time to give it to him.
“This project is our project and
we think we have a good material to sell,” he added.
