Senate President Bukola Saraki says President Muhammadu Buhari lacks basic understanding of governance.
Saraki, who stated this while addressing Oyo state PDP delegates at the state’s party secretariat in Molete, Ibadan, ahead of the national convention, added that Nigeria should ensure they vote what he described as a “digital President” in 2019.
He was accompanied by Senator Rafiu Ibrahim, Senator Abiodun Olujinmi, Captain Idris Wada, Dr. Doyin Okupe and Hon. Muhammed Wakil.
The Senate President declared that the mistake Nigerians have made over the years was electing people into positions of authority based on sentiment.
The PDP presidential aspirant specifically maintained that Nigeria needed a digital President who can relate well with Presidents of other counties.
He said: “If you have observed, you will discover that Presidents of other counties who have visited Nigeria in recent time did not sleep in the country. They will just come for two or few hours and go back”.
The Senate President maintained further that what the country needs in 2019 is a capable President, saying Buhari has shown that he is not capable for the task.
Saraki insisted that having worked with the President for over three years, he has discovered that Buhari does not understand governance.
He added that instead of Buhari performing as an elected President, “people you did not vote for are the ones doing the work”.
The Senate President, however, declared that he is the most capable for the work among the PDP Presidential aspirants, urging the Oyo state delegates to support his aspiration.
Among the Oyo PDP leaders that received him were: the state chairman, Alhaji Kunmi Mystapha; Elder Wole Oyelese; Alhaji Hazeem Gbolarumi; Mr. Wasiu Adeleke; Dr. Saka Balogun; Chief Jacob Adetoro.
