Kwara State Governor Bukola Saraki - will today declare his intention to run for the presidency in the 2011 general elections.

A statement signed by his media aide, Alhaji Ma’ud Adebimpe, said posters, banners and bill boards were ready for the take-off of the campaigns. A source close to government in Ilorin, who spoke to our correspondent, said all logistics have been provided to ensure the success of the event.

Saraki is Fulani, so you now have him as the second Fulani candidate after Buhari.

CAn anything good come from him

even when they know they will lose they will still come out.

[size=14pt]I would have thought being the Chairman of both the Northern Governors Forum and National Governors forum he would have made his views, plans and desires known to some of his colleagues who would in turn give him an undeniable loyalty. At this stage of the competition he should be toting up his numbers, breaking into that uncharted territory of having 15 to 18 Governors who would vouch and vote him.

I still think the confidence ensuing from this Gentleman has a familiar clandestine pattern, the treachery which would unfold in the days and weeks to come shall surprise a lot of Nigerians, it would surpass and overwhelm celebrated treachery cases like those of Judas and Brutus. We have to remember there are no permanent friends in politics but permanent interest

We have to remember also that the primaries if I am not mistaking would be a secret ballot system and anything can happen when a man cast his vote and put it into an envelope out of view of his fellow next man.

OBJ’s 3rd term should serve as a reminder, despites giving all the members of the house of Reps and Senate N50 million each he still failed.

Most of those cruel lying politicians promising Jonathan heaven and Earth, Jonathan should take such promises with a caution. Men are evil and they would definitely manifest themselves in this election.[/size]

With these kind of people at the helm of affiars in Nigeria, we are heading for destruction

Not to worry we'll still remain in one piece.

[size=16pt]This is good news. The more the northern candidates, the better for GEJ. They will split the northern votes at the primaries. Or could this be another GEJ strategy? All good.[/size]

On which Party's platform? Anyone know?

Specialist900:

even when they know they will lose they will still come out.

i tire o!

d guy no 2 bad now

O ma fail, won a gbo l'orun!

Specialist900:

even when they know they will lose they will still come out.

I tire oooooo.

However, I think did is just a strategy. It is either he will back out at the last minute and support his God Father, IBB or He is looking for favour from anyone that emerges as the president. Don't forget, he will be in the record that he had contested for Nigeria Presidency and that alone might put him in another level higher than other outgoing governor that never showed interest and b4 we know it, he will be nominated as minister.

Shameless G.O.A.T

are these guys fools.you are campaigning for the north to rule and yet dividing ur votes right frm the pdp.15 strong northern candidates and only one strong southern candidate,

no room 4 u now, kom again,

what dose he know about Nigeria, let alone being the president, please all these people whose father keep planting every where should learn to how to walk before trying to run. None sense

I dont blame you Wale, I have known you to be against all good intentions and I would be surprise if you could ever made a head way in life.

Stolen money of the people of Kwara, i guess.

No body knows o. I guess all of them will be contesting on imaginary platforms.

No, that is not how it is. Politics is all about calculation. This is it. Many of them don't dream about ruling the nation. Their intention is to merely declare their political ambition while in the end they step dpwm for a popular candidate. If the popular candidate happens to win, the politicians that step down will then solicit for slots in the executive cabinet. That is how they do it. They tell the winner "remember i gave you my support by letting go of my ambition, so, this is what i want in return, "

komando.:

Saraki is Fulani, so you now have him as the second Fulani candidate after Buhari.

The core north never see people from North Central as Hausa/Fulani. As far as they are concerned, he is not representing the North. Forget about theories, the Hausa/Fulani dynasty and or hegemony is so rigid to the extent that if you are outside the core Northern states, they label you as part of northern minority tribes and not a part of Hausa/Fulani dynasty.

What rubbish are you saying, everybody as is own option if you don't mind don't ever in your life say i will not make head way in life and for your information i have already made head way.

his not intelligent enuf to run Nigeria.proof SGB, his fathers hospital and kwara state.

God help kwara state, This guy n his father have finished with us now they want to move on to Nigeria as a whole. This is definately the end of the road 4 them. In case u guyz don't know Obj drove this guy away from aso rock in 1999 saying he was to dull to be a special adviser b4 his foolish father imposed him on us in 2003. If Obj can call some1 dull then dat person as to be a slowpoke cos we all know wat obj himself is,
SAY NO TO ANY FORM OF SET BACK NAIJA, SAY NO TO IBB, SARAKI(Both father and son)

u r a negative person, u r d only 1 dat sees this as a positve tin. I think u have a problem diffrentiating btw positive n negative. just tell us u have a beef with this Wale guy from some where cos Saraki is of no good, infact he is greedy, dull and i think he takes after his father

BUKOLA SARAKI IS NOT DULL ATLEAST HE IS A MEDICAL DOCTOR AND HE STUDIED IN UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, UNLIKE JONATHIEF WHO STUDIED IN ZOOLOGY AT UNIVRESITY OF PORT HARCOURT.

YOU ARE BIG LIAR AND YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE NORTH. SIR ABUBAKAR TAFAWA BALEWA IS FROM BAUCHI STATE WHICH IS NOT EAST YET HE WAS VOTED BY THE WHOLE NORTH TO BECOME NIGERIAS PRIME MINISTER, SO ALSO IS ATIKU ABUBAKAR FROM ADAMAWA STATE. EVEN IBB IS FROM NORTH CENTRAL AND YET EVERYBODY IN THE NORTH SUPPORT HIM. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE MINORITY NORTH.

I like ur analysis however the mere thought of this guy with his family's brand of amala/tuwo politics ever getting into nigeria's executive council, leaves me covered in goosepimples. His ilk should left confined to his locale. if kwarans are too timid to get rid of him and his parasitic familt, that's their palava but he should not ventured to come to the cenytre. That family's longthroat ranks in the top indexes among nigeria's  major kleptocrats.

My guy the game plan is that all the PDP northern aspirant will colapse their delegate to one person at the polls. so don't be jubilant

Goldenmeda:

no room 4 u now, kom again,

Ride on Dr. Saraki, the president-in-waiting.

Some people just criticize any candidate that comes, yet we condemn old politicians that does not want to leave office. I am not in support of any1 except a credible candidate and honest 1. But it would be hard for GEJ cos the latest breaking news is other aspirants in PDP (IBB, ATIKU, SARAKI, e.tc) are working to present a 1 aspirant against GEJ, and that would be tight for oga GEJ but with support of OBJ he may sail thru.

Obj is overrated. There is no way Obj+GEJ can defeat those people if they come together.
