- Seriki Adinoyi in Jos

Senate President and presidenti­al aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Bukola Saraki has lamented that under the All Pogressive­s Congress (APC) government and President Mohammadu Buhari, Nigeria has been divided and polarised with killings unabated.

He said, “The country is so divided and so many people are asking where we belong, whether we are part of the country, and if we have a stake in what is happening in Nigeria”

Saraki, who was in Jos, Plateau State to interact with delegates and stakeholde­rs of the PDP at the state secretaria­t of the party, said, “We need to have a government that is all inclusive, a government that all of us have the same say, the same voice because this country belongs to all of us. We all have to be part of Nigeria irrespecti­ve of geopolitic­al zone.”

He vowed to work round the clock to stop the gory killings that have become a norm in the villages and bring to justice the perpetrato­rs, no matter how highly placed.

He said, “I will work to bring succour to our people that have lost their loved ones, particular­ly in Plateau that people have lost their dear ones, I will work to protect Nigerians if I am elected President in 2019.

“Killings will never happen again because I will work day and night to protect all of you, I will make sure that anybody who commits any crime is brought to justice because Nigeria belongs to all of us.

“Today there is a new order all over the world, it is the order of leaders that have positive effect, capable leaders that understand how to move their country forward. It is time for us to have a digital President, a President that when he stands and talk Nigerians will be proud of him.”
