Former Social Democratic Party, (SDP) presidential aspirant, Dr Sarah Nnadzwa Jubril yesterday, joined General Ibrahim Babangida and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, in the rank of aspirants in the race for the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Addressing newsmen in Abuja, she attributed the crises bedeviling the country to the absence of character in most of the people occupying public offices in the country and pledged to address the “quality of being of the citizens and underdevelopment of the system in the family, the communities, professions, economy, politics/governance, infrastructure and diplomacy.”

While adding her voice in support of the zoning arrangement in the PDP, which she believed was contrived for political convenience, she, however, advocated that the exalted seat should be zoned to women in 2011.

“I am standing as a neutralizer candidate, to neutralize the argument of north or south. I am coming as a comforter to those who want pragmatic change. You have relegated women to the background in this country. At home, it is the woman that nurtures the character of the child. If we want to restore our cherished values, we must concede political office to women who are naturally born to teach and mould character.

Why do we have so much criminality in Nigeria? You have relegated the teachers of human conscience to the background and that’s why you are having problems. Today, we have lost our moral integrity, because nobody is asking, who gets what and how.” The presidential aspirant declared that she would provide “rescuer-leadership” to refocus and raise the country “from delayed development to steady wealth and rapid development”.

Asked if she would pull out of the PDP if she loses the primaries, the presidential hopeful said she would remain steadfast in the party irrespective of the outcome of the party presidential primaries. “Yes, I am in the race for the fifth time. But I stand as a motivator. This is a battle between good or evil, mediocrity or excellence, of criminality or discipline. This is an issue of consistency and endurance.”

This is the fifth time Dr. Jubril is in the race for the presidency. She was an aspirant under the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP) in 1993 which was won by late Chief Moshood Olawale Kashimawo Abiola and was again an aspirant in 1998 under the banner of the PDP which was won by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
In 2003, Dr. Jibril contested for presidency on the platform of the Progressive Action Congress (PAC) before retracing her step to the PDP where she contested for the party presidential ticket and got four votes at the convention which was won by the late President Umaru Yar’Adua.

The issue of politics goes beyond nurturing and providing rescuer-leadership as she calls her terms. In as much as I don't doubt her capacity to lead the nation, I believe that leadership positions are not for jokers. She presented herself to me as a joker. If not, she has been in the race since her time in SDP in 1993, for God's Holy Name, why has she been in the unnoticeable background since all these years. She only appears on the national scene when elections are approaching. OH MY GOD!!! WHAT A JOKER!!

Anyway, for her, it is never too late as far as "PDP politics" is concerned. I only pray that the self-acclaimed Africa's largest party meet its match in the coming elections.

As for Sarah Jibril, let her come out with implementable promising, corrupt-politician killing manifesto/agenda for the nation. It is only through that I think people can take her serious.

^^^^

i cant believe that u are actually taking her serious,

she is just an opportunist trying to look for a serious contender to buy her over, so that she can be involved,

looking at her declaration occasion, i cant but pity the hungry looking people that am sure were coerced to fill those chairs at the occasion

well

its her right

I only like what she said. If there should be zoning, it should be zoned to women Period. IBB, Atiku etchshould just go and rest. Zoning can never work for now.

She's deceiving herself and she knows it. . . .

This old woman never tire'

Now this is becoming fun

Madam is only reminding the men to consider for ministerial appointment and some ghana must go to keep her mouth shut.

Lol

the lady needs recognition, at least it can earn her a ministerial or commissioner's position .

i mean if you shoot very high if it misses to touch the sky it will fall on a tall building

If this woman were my auntie I'd sue Nairaland for treating her gaffe with undeserved seriousness. I'd sue for N500 million.

People should talk some senses into this woman.

I don't know who is more of a dreamer. This Woman or Dele Momodu.

sarah jibril obasanjo sheeeeeeeeee? is she notyet old? na waaaaaoooooooooooooo

this woman again

How much does INEC pay peeps to contest an election? That may tell us why she is contesting.

This womand has contested twice previously. Why does she bother herself when she knows she can't win.

Sarah Jubril has a never say die spirit She reminds me of Abraham Lincoln. She continues to contest for the presidency and keeps losing, but she never gives up. She is likely not to become Nigeria's president but I like her self-belief. Lets see what happens this time
