A former Nigeria’s Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, on Wednesday declared his intention to contest the 2023 presidential election.
The former Kwara State governor is the latest to announce intention to seek the office under the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party.
Others who have already signified their interest in the party are another former Senate President, Ayim Pius Ayim; publisher, Dele Momodu and a renowned pharmacist, Sam Ohuanbunwa.
Saraki gave the hint in a Facebook post on Wednesday with the hashtag #GrowNigeria.
He said: “Earlier today, I replied to a follower of mine on Twitter who like thousands of you has been clamouring for a united front to #RescueNigeria.
“As we prepare for the journey ahead, I hope we can all join hands to get the ticket of our great party, PDP, and build a nation that works for all of us.
“Join me to make our communities safer and provide real opportunities for you and your families. I have a strong record of delivering and experience in making tough decisions.
“Let’s build a new Nigeria that works for EVERYONE!”
