| Bukola Saraki. Senate President. Federal Republic of Nigeria. |
It has been brought to our attention that the Not Too
Young to Run group have issued a statement in relation to the announcement made
by the President of the Senate, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, whilst addressing
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members and aspirants of the group.
In a statement signed by Saraki’s Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, he said that the occasion was first in a
series of Dialogues organised by the Not Too Young To Run along Party lines.
The first one is for young PDP aspirants. The subsequent ones are designed for
the APC and other parties.
It is true that the Not Too Young To Run leadership
had no prior knowledge of the content of the Senate President’s remarks.
However, the announcement by the Senate President that he intends to throw his
hat into the ring to contest for the Presidency was made in good faith to young
PDP aspirants, partly as a symbolic act of encouragement.
Mr. Olaniyonu said that it was not the intent of the
Senate President to put the group or its leadership in an invidious position.
The Senate President appreciates the contribution of the group to the
development of our democracy and will continue to work closely with young
people across the country in order to make Nigeria a better place for all.
