Former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki on Tuesday told Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) delegates in Osun state that his executive and legislative exposure made him a better presidential candidate ahead others.

He also disclosed that if given the mandate to rule the country, he can unite Nigeria as well as its diverse religious interest.

Saraki urged the delegates to votes for him due to his credentials which other aspirants lack, saying he is the most experienced to pilot the country to prosperity.

He said, “I am the only aspirant that has eight years of experience as an executive arm of government, who has been in the private sector, and who has been the Chairman of the National Assembly. There is no other person with that kind of experience.

Saraki also stated that Osun PDP has adequate trust in him, hence, their resolve to stand by him in the forthcoming presidential primary election.

I have been with the Osun PDP chapter to ensure that we have a PDP government in the state. I know you also see in me, a kind of leadership you believe is good for the country. Young, vibrant, active, someone that has the capacity to bring in investors to this country.

The leadership that we need in this country today is the one that can bring progress, unity and what needs to be done.

“People of Osun are educated and exposed. They know what they need to make progress and they see that in me. We have been together for a long time. I believe that is why they have confidence in me”, he added.
