Speaking during a recent appearance on Politics Today, Saraki reflected on his eight years as governor, insisting that his administration recorded relatively low levels of violence. According to him, the number of deaths during that period was “less than 200 or 300,” which he presented as evidence of stability under his leadership.
The statement has since generated reactions across political circles, with supporters praising his tenure while critics question the accuracy and context of the figures shared.

Beyond the security claims, Saraki also used the interview to address persistent rumours about his political future. He dismissed speculation that he may defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stressing that his loyalty remains intact.
He further clarified that personal relationships within politics, including his association with figures like Nyesom Wike, do not override his commitment to party unity and discipline. According to him, the focus must remain on strengthening the PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Saraki also rejected claims that senior PDP members are secretly working with the ruling APC, describing such narratives as politically motivated distractions aimed at weakening the party.
His comments have continued to stir conversation nationwide, especially as Nigerians debate leadership records, security challenges, and political loyalty ahead of the next election cycle.
