Saraki in his opening remarks claimed that the budget presented by the president on Wednesday, December 19 has no future because the statistics does not indicate how it will be funded.

He said: “Yesterday, we all heard the 2019 budget, that is a budget that has no hope for anybody because if you look at the statistics and the figures there’s poverty, if you look at the figures based on revenues that are coming in, there is nothing left, so where’s the future?

“There must be an alternative and that is what we hope that by this evening, speaking to our candidate and vice presidential candidate, not based on sentiments , we are not voting on sentiments.

“How is your life going to be better? Which party offers you a better future because we see you as those who are patriotic and committed? It’s not about what you’ll get today. It’s about the great country.”

Saraki said anyone who wants to lead the country should be able to tell the people what he wants to do and said President Buhari will not attend the debate.

He said: “This is an interactive session, I’m not sure whether the other political parties will give you an opportunity like this to ask them any question. I’m told that one has debated and you already know the answer to that debate. On the second one, I’m very sure he’s not going to debate. So how do you assess somebody who is not ready to tell you what he’s going to do?

“Those days are gone, my good people, the future of this country, a country that leads the continent, that is not the example we want to set for this continent.

The whole world is going in a direction, if you’re seeking a position, you must come and tell people what you want to do, you must sit down and they’ll ask you questions and that is why we’re here. “Today is your day, we will sit down and take questions, I hope at the end of the exercise you will stand up and say yes this is the team that will secure Nigeria, this is the team that will unite Nigeria, this is the team that will fight the poverty in town and bring a bright future.”

Meanwhile, The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, has revealed how he was approached by several small political parties demanding for money to endorse President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 election.

Oshiomhole said this when he received delegations from the European Union, EU and International Republican Institute (IRI) at the APC National Secretariat Abuja, Business Day reports.
