One thing that makes Bukola Saraki worth considering for Nigeria’s presidency in 2031 is his ability to build bridges across political divides. As Senate President, he led a chamber where party differences could easily have stalled progress. Yet, his leadership brought together people with competing interests to work within the same institution. That experience matters. Nigeria is too diverse to be governed by division, and too challenged to afford endless political battles. We need a president who can engage opponents, negotiate differences and build a coalition around the national interest. The next president must not just know how to win power; he must know how to bring a divided country together. That is a conversation worth having about Bukola Saraki and 2031.
