Nigeria needs to join the global trend by electing a ‘digital president’ like me— Saraki

Senate President Bukola Saraki on Monday said Nigeria needs to join the new global trend where “digital presidents” were being elected to lead.

He said he embodies the qualities of such a president.

Saraki stated this at a town hall meeting with members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State.

The event at Park Inn Hotels, Abeokuta, was part of of his campaign for the presidential ticket of the PDP.

“Today in Nigeria, we are at a crossroads. There’s no sense of belonging in Nigeria again. We want a president that belongs to all Nigerians, that will unite Nigerians,” he told the party members.

Saraki, who was accompanied by Kogi West senator, Dino Melaye, and other chieftains of the party, said, “There is a new order all over the world we have seen bringing in dynamic, youthful, energetic and digital presidents. Our people are suffering because you cannot give what you don’t have.

“We need a visionary leader. It is time not to vote for sentiments, but vote for someone that can perform.

“I believe I have the capacity, ability and track record, it is time we have a leader that stands for justice and I believe I represent such person. Our elders, I know many aspirants have come here, tell them your son has come out, they should mellow. On October 5 and 6, I want Ogun delegates to vote for me”.
