The ex-Senator also hinted at the effects of continued insecurity on the life of the country, demanding that Nigeria deserved a leader with genuine commitment and altruism.
Saraki, who made this disclosure during his meeting with the leaders and delegates of PDP in Kaduna on Sunday, stressed that unity could only be ascertained when peace is restored.
He noted: “2023 is not a time to vote just anybody as president. This country is in a very difficult situation and nobody knows it better than Kaduna state. In 2015, you get into your car, day time, night time, and drive to Abuja. You could fly into Abuja…but today, this is not the case. Today, a lot of our young people don’t have any jobs.
“Today, there is disunity across the place. We cannot continue like this as a country. This country needs somebody that can stand. That’s why you need a bold and courageous person that can stand for Nigerians
