Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has refuted
claims that his son is being groomed to
become the next governor of Kwara state.
Speaking at the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) Forum in Abuja today, Saraki said
reports that his son was being groomed as
the next governor of the state is false.
“The boy is not interested in politics. That is
not in the offing at all; I am sure he doesn’t
even want to hear politics at all. You know it
is not easy for children who are born to
politicians, especially in this time, to embrace
politics. When I was much younger, we
were insulated from some of the political
issues, and because we didn’t read the
newspapers, we didn’t know what was
happening. I reluctantly went into politics,
you can go and check. Once or twice, I was
given the form to run for House of
Representatives, and I remember I just
traveled and disappeared for months. After
seeing what my father had been through I
thought to myself that this is not for me” he
said
