The Senate yesterday dispelled report that the visit of the Senate President, Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, was an underground launch of his 2019 presidential campaign.

A national daily yesterday reported that the Senate President visited Maiduguri as part of his plans for the presidency in 2019.

Our correspondent reports that Saraki had on Monday led senators to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital where he met the Shehu of Borno, the state governor and some displaced persons.

But while reacting to the report, the chairman of the Senate ad hoc committee on publicity, Senator Dino Melaye, said the visit has no connection with 2019.
“It is myopic to say the visit has a link with 2019. The visit was not the making of the Senate president but the resolution of the Senate during a plenary last week. The visit has nothing to do with the ambition of the Senate president,” he said.
He said the Senate president is working hard to find means of assisting the victims of the Boko Haram insurgency.

“The visit was as a result of the motion moved by Senator George Thompson Sekibo of Rivers East Senatorial District on the Boko Haram insurgency. It was during the debate at the floor that Senate resolved that a delegation led by the Senate president should visit the North East states,” he said.

According to him, the Senate would be responsible and will only do what is in line with the law.
Melaye also said that President Muhammadu Buhari has so far performed well in piloting the affairs of the country.

“Buhari is driving within the speed limit unlike the previous administration that was over speeding, driving 140 Km per hour and at the end of the day, they grounded the vehicle,” he said.

I simply love this Saraki guy ..

I wish he will contest for 2019 presidency no matter what barcanista feels.

I love people that grab destiny with their hands.

So much attack on saraki, they truly wants to rubbish this man called saraki. Even his good works are viewed as if he has an interior motive lol

Even Saraki himself is a snake the way he manipulated his way to the top, am truly enjoying this cat and mouse case with no ending season

Well, I am glad that they are not far from the reality of 2019.

By the way, why is Dino mentioning Jonathan again? Won't these APC clowns leave Jona alone? Haba...

Dino we all know has always been a controversial man right from his days in the house and these days i think i do more of body guarding saraki's wife than doing his job as a senator.

Maybe Saraki is paying him and Sani Yerima as body guard to his wife who knows? lol

I want him to contest APC primaries with Buhari

At age 76/77.... You don see any Presido wey no go second term?

May God continue to guide and protect them.

Not the PMB that am seeing..

I love Buhari personally as politician without corrupt mind.

But with the cabals he's been surrounded with, i doubt the credibilty.

But for him to come back in 2019.....well, lets hope he finish his first term first and as for Saraki, his ambition can only spell doom for him.

Lets see how he fight the fogery allegations.

Campaign after election,give a more convincing reason,am not buying that
