Bukola Saraki, former senate president, says if he is
allowed to lead, Nigerians will “have a greater sense of what it means to be
truly Nigerian”.
Although there have been calls for the former senate
president to contest in the 2023 presidential election, he has not officially
declared his intention to run for the position.
In a Twitter post on Thursday, Saraki said Nigerians have
been divided along ethnic and religious lines, instead of focusing on critical
issues and the capacity of aspirants, and how they can make the country
progressive.
He wondered why citizens would allow issues of the past to
shape their future when they could work together and be united.
“For quite some time
now, as a nation, we have focused on the old arguments of ethnicity and
regional sentiments, instead of capacity, competence, and other critical
issues,” he tweeted.
“However, whenever we watch football and when it is time to
celebrate as Nigerians at weddings and other social engagements, we are united.
Why should we allow past issues to drag us back and define us? Why do we focus
on the old issues that do not define our future?
“This is why, based on my track record, if I am allowed to
lead, all Nigerians will have a greater sense of what it means to be truly
Nigerian.
“And yes, I believe that I am the “Nigerian for all Nigerians!”
Thanks, Ariyo,
