Former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki and the Governor
of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel have said the processes leading to the 2023
elections will determine Nigeria’s progress.
The presidential aspirants made the assertions on the same
day at different times when they called on PDP stakeholders and delegates ahead
of party primaries.
Earlier, Governor Emmanuel said depending on the choice of
candidates by delegates, those elected can make or mar the existence of the
country, insisting electioneering processes will determine Nigeria’s next
direction.
“Next year’s general election is very critical to the well
being of Nigeria. The elections will redefine whether the country will move
forward or not.
“This will depend much on the types of politicians elected
into power.”
He expressed worry that the country was going down swiftly
in the areas of security, economy and infrastructure.
“Somebody must rise to redeem and restore the country. I,
therefore, offer myself to partner with God to rescue Nigeria”.
Addressing the PDP officials and supporters, the former
Senate President said Nigeria now needs a president that is bold to take on
challenges.
He also said next year will be a defining moment for Nigeria
because the country has been disunited and insecure.
“Nigeria is now a failed state. There is massive insecurity
and killings, oil thefts in the South-South, cost of living is too high due to
the high exchange rate.
“We don’t have the luxury of voting because of religious
sentiments, or the luxury of voting on geographical relationships but on the
capacity of an individual.”
He said to be president, the man should have ideas and
creativity and courage, saying Nigeria needs to be revolutionised to take
Nigeria to the space she ought to belong.
