Hopefully, the guidelines will come out which will tell us definitely where the whistle would be blown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShort of anything that stops an individual, I will definitely be announcing sometime before the end of the month, my intention to vie for president. At the moment, we are just doing consultation. Formal declaration will come in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe I have what it takes to lead Nigeria. I am not someone who shies away from taking up challenges. I am not someone who does not know the issues or someone who does not have the energy and vibrancy to address those issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore importantly, I am someone that can reach out across the political divide, based on my antecedents. I am someone who can reach out across the ethnicity divide and across the religious divide \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the issue of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/03\/11\/ekweremadu-declares-guber-intention-says-zoning-doesnt-exist-in-enugu\/\">zoning<\/a> which has been a subject of debate, Saraki said Nigerians should be concerned about electing someone who can tackle the country\u2019s challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you talk about zoning, yes, you must consider zoning. But when we talk about zoning, it can\u2019t just be an issue of north\/south because you cannot tell me that the south-west will say they are disenfranchised in the possibility of political office; neither can you say the south-south,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the reality is that the north-east, north-central and south-east have not had presidency or vice-presidency. But what I\u2019m saying is today, where the country is, with the challenges before the country, we must bring in other issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did it when we wanted to look for the national chairman of our party. We went seeking for who we felt was the best that would help the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are people who can provide solutions to the problems of the country if you give them the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former senate president, Bukola Saraki has disclosed that he has &#8220;what it takes&#8221; to lead Nigeria.
