Why Saraki May Have A Tough Battle In Next Year’s Election.

Senate President Bukola Saraki will obviously be facing a tough battle for Kwara Central Senatorial Seat next year.

Naija News recalls that the Peoples democratic party gave Saraki an automatic ticket for the post, shortly after he lost to Atiku Abubakar in the presidential Primaries.

According to details of the polls released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Senate President, who is billed to fly the flag of the Peoples Democratic Party in the election, will have to slug it out with 16 other candidates of various political parties.
