Gbemi Saraki To Contest For Governorship.
Gbemi Saraki To Contest For Governorship Of Kwara.
The ex-senator and sister to former Governor, Bukola Saraki will reportedly contest on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
and has already written a letter to the chairman of the state chapter
of the party and its Elders’ Committee to that effect.
The letter reads:
“I
have the pleasure to inform you that after several months of statewide
consultations, I have resolved to contest for the position of the
governor of Kwara State under the platform of our great party, the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2015 General Elections,” Ms.
Saraki said in the “Letter of Intent,” dated October 2.
“This
decision is informed, on the one hand, by calls by family members,
friends and several thousands of members of our party who are convinced
about my capacity to lead the state out of its present state of
hopelessness and stagnation which the ruling party has deliberately
thrown it into.
“On the other hand, it is
informed by the positive reactions received so far from majority of
elders and stakeholders of our party, and other members of the public
during my statewide consultations.
“Thus,
in obedience to their clarion calls, and a personal conviction that
Kwara State can be better governed, I have decided to offer myself to
the service of the good people of Kwara state.”
Gbemi
previously contested for governorship of the state in 2011 on the
platform of the now defunct Alliance Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN)
but lost to Abdulfatah Ahmed of the PDP.
