“Saraki will make Nigeria a country of our dream in 2023. We must produce the calibre of leaders that will be respected across the world.”
Also speaking, a member of the Saraki for President team, Prince Olateru Lekan, decried the situation of things in Nigeria under the All Progressives Congress (APC), pointing out that the country is under the grip of insecurity.

“We are in a serious problem in Nigeria and if care is not taken, God forbid, we may not have Nigeria three years from now. That is why we are here because at tough times like this, we need to begin to take extraordinary actions. That is why we have come to tell you that we need a president that can be a Nigerian president, not a regional president, a president that can provide solutions to these problems that we are facing.”
