Bukola Saraki, president of the 8th Senate, says he has not declared to run for the post of president in the forth coming 2019 general election.
 
Mr Saraki was reported to be considering joining the race. Some medium who republished the story said he has declared his intention to run.
 
“I am consulting and actively considering it, I believe I can make the change,” the top lawmaker was quoted by Bloomberg to have said.
 
But clarifying his position on the matter, the Senate President said the aspiration was still at the considering stage.
 
“Considering’ is not a declaration. At the appropriate time, the President of Senate will be specific about his aspiration for 2019,” his media aide, Yusuph Olaniyonu, said on Thursday.

“Moreover, the Bloomberg interview was 90% on the economy, and not politics.

“The President of the Senate has been clear that at the right time, Nigerian’s will know what his plans are,” he said.
 
Olaniyonu restated his principal’s comment last month where he said: “Time will come for everything; a time will come for me to tell people where I am, what I’m doing.”
