Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Tuesday declared himself as the best among those aspiring to be president in 2023.
Saraki spoke in Osogbo during a meeting with the leadership and members of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun state
The presidential aspirant also said he had been close to the PDP family in the state, adding that he had also worked with the party to ensure that PDP returned to government in the state.
He then called for support of the delegates from the state to ensure victory for him during the party’s presidential primary.
He said, “I am the only aspirant that has eight years of experience in 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. Whether you are talking about executive experience, whether you are talking about restructuring which includes constitutional review and amendment, for somebody who has headed the parliament, or whether you are talking about uniting Nigerians, you know a national assembly is a place where you are first among equals. You must have the capacity to bring people together.
“You will understand how business works so that people in business can invest. There is no other aspirant that has that experience and that is why I believe that I am the best among them,” Saraki said.
