Despite concerted moves by the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to oust him from office, Senate President Bukola Saraki on Wednesday hinted about his interest to run for the office of President in 2019.

The hint came through an interview he granted a foreign media platform, Bloomberg after months of speculations and torrents of third party endorsements from prominent Nigerians.

The former Kwara State governor said he was consulting major stakeholders and actively considering running against President Muhammadu Buhari and other candidates who might be interested in the position.

“I am consulting and actively considering it. I believe I can make the change,” Saraki told Bloomberg.

The 56-year-old Saraki who recently defected from the APC disclosed that if he eventually decides to run, it would be under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the main opposition party.

Since 2015 when he emerged President of the Senate against the wish of his erstwhile party leaders, his relationship with the presidency has not been cordial, considering the frequent clashes between the executive and the legislative arms of government.
