Here are some of the agreements Bukola Saraki signed with the opposition party to oust President Buhari in 2019

Nigerian Senate President, Bukola Saraki said he has signed some agreements with the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, to oust President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.

Saraki, who defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, on the last day of July 2018, said he may contest under the party for the 2019 presidential race.

He told Bloomberg on Tuesday that he is still “consulting and actively considering it” to run under the main opposition party.

“I believe I can make the change,” the embattled National Assembly leader said.

“The PDP has learnt its lesson from the loss in 2015, and I think unfortunately the APC did not learn from their victory,” he said.

Saraki said while negotiating with the PDP, a number of agreements were signed.

"...We listed a number of items during the discussions with the PDP, and there is a written agreement to that. We trust that we can hold them to that.”

Here are some of the agreements the Senate President listed:

1. How to sustain and improve the fight against corruption.

2. State autonomy - the issue of providing more powers to the states.

3. Inclusion and having a more nationalistic approach on governmental issues.

4. Improve the environment that will ensure investments.

5. Ensure strong security apparatus.

He said the party (PDP) will be strong on security.
