A group, Saraki Support Group (SSG) has said if the immediate past Senate President, Dr Abubkara Bukola Saraki is elected President in 2023 the current security challenges facing the nation will be a thing of the past.
The Spokesperson of the SSG, Ed Malik Abdul in a statement, Wednesday expressed hope that Saraki’s presidency would confront insecurity with unbiased boldness.
According to the Spokesman “the deteriorating security situation which is affecting every region of the country requires bold and unbiased leadership to mitigate.
He said, “While the security and intelligence community are doing their best, a different leadership quotient and content under a Saraki presidency would precipitate a new burst of morale which is precursory to reawakening the positive soul of our military to defend the country”.
The statement further read “the former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, like all well-meaning Nigerians is worried by the steady ascendancy of criminal activities as manifested by the daily reports of kidnappings, banditry, highway robbery, ethnic intolerance and even cyber crimes which can be significantly reduced by confronting the contextual issues that lead to these scenarios.
“A little journey back to the tenure of Dr. Bukola Saraki as President of the Senate by analysts of contemporary politics would reveal that in the history of leadership of the senate, his was a level playing field for every region in Nigeria as comprised by the members of the Senate.
“There was no nothing like a major or minor tribe or religion or gender but all the senators were treated equally, no matter their geographical representation adding that Issues affecting the development of the country were debated and boldly contested by all without pointing fingers or threatening anyone because of where he hails from.
“It is under such an atmosphere that people can make positive input or proffer solutions that are not rooted in hegemonic ethnic fixation” the statement said.
