Senator Bukola Saraki has suspended his 2015 presidential bid. According to a statement he released on his
website, he said he's suspending it 'in interest of country and party. Find the statement below..
After
months of wide but careful deliberations and consultations with my
family, friends, political associates and supporters, today, I am
announcing the suspension of my Presidential Bid in the interest of our
country and party.
As
it stands, I have been deeply humbled by the spark that my prospective
candidacy has ignited among Nigerians across Nigeria and abroad; Young
people, youth groups, and stakeholders from all geo-political zones have
sought the change that they wish to see.
These
young people by their overwhelming support have not only encouraged my
candidacy, they have endorsed the change that they desperately crave.
As
complicated as the political outlook of 2015 currently seems, now is
the time for well-meaning Nigerians from all works of life to
fall-in-line and become rank-and-file soldiers in our struggle to
reclaim our nation.
I have always
maintained that I did not leave the ruling party for the opposition
because of any personal interest; Anyone who understands Nigerian
politics would know that it takes serious courage, rugged doggedness and
self-sacrifice to do that. Therefore, whether it is on the issue of the
party or all other issues that I have been pushing in my position as a
Senator of the Federal Republic, the primal purpose that drives me is
the desire to see a better and more purposely governed Nigeria.
