Rumours have been on for some time that Saraki will be contesting in the 2019 presidential election but the national assembly chairman has said he’ll address that when the time is right.
Saraki recently defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) having dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
