According to Saraki, he informed Koroma of his plans to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29th, 2023.
He wrote: “Yesterday, it was great to catch up with my old friend, the former President of Sierra Leone, H.E. Ernest Bai Koroma.
“It was also a great opportunity to inform him of my future plans, as well as learn more about his work to foster peace and development on the continent.”

However, this online newspaper reports that Saraki has already kicked started consultations with Tambuwal and Mohammed about putting forward a consensus candidate.
