And this time, his message is clear he is not contesting. Alot of people won’t agree with this, Watch What Happened.
According to a report credited to Daily Trust on Friday, March 27, 2026, Saraki has distanced himself completely from any talk of running for president or seeking any elective position in the coming general elections. The clarification has already started shaking political conversations across opposition circles in Nigeria, especially as 2027 politics slowly begins to gather momentum.
For many Nigerians following the unfolding drama, this statement comes as a surprise twist. In a televised interview, Saraki made it clear that his role in national politics will remain behind the scenes. He stressed that his focus is now on contributing to national discussions and strengthening his political party, not chasing personal ambition. In the middle of all the speculation, he urged the public to pay attention to the real issues shaping Nigeria’s future.

Saraki also reaffirmed his loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), describing it as a strong political platform with deep roots across the country. He insisted that despite internal disagreements and leadership struggles, the party still enjoys strong support at the grassroots level.
Speaking further, he pointed to his home state as an example, saying PDP supporters there remain committed despite ongoing political disagreements at the top. He also addressed concerns surrounding a recent party convention, explaining that although there were initial reservations, he agreed to participation after assurances that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would monitor the process.
However, Saraki expressed disappointment that INEC did not attend the convention, suggesting the process could have been handled differently for better transparency.
He also dismissed rumours that he might defect to another party, maintaining that he remains firmly in the PDP. At the same time, he raised concerns about the state of Nigeria’s multi-party democracy under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, hinting that all is not well within the political space.
As 2027 draws closer, Saraki’s decision is already raising fresh questions about where Nigeria’s opposition politics is heading.
