Defection rumour: “I can’t leave a party I helped midwife” – Saraki
Senate President Bukola Saraki has debunked reports that he has defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The reports spread after Saraki was seen at a PDP Senate’s caucus meeting on Wednesday.
But his Special Assistant on Social Media, Bamikole Omishore said he attented the meeting in his official capacity as the President of Senate.
He assured Nigerians of his commitment to the APC-led government.
The statement follows
The attention of the Senate President’s Media Team has been drawn to a false publication that is making the rounds on social media that Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki has defected from the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC). This fabrication is entirely untrue as the Senate President stands committed to the APC; a party that he helped midwife and worked for its victory in the 2015 elections.
In his official capacity as Senate President and chairman, National Assembly, he attended the end of session event of the PDP caucus yesterday evening and spent only 30 minutes before leaving the members to continue with the event.
The Senate President would like to assure every Nigerian that he is committed to the APC-led government and appreciates the confidence reposed in him and the APC during the 2015 General Elections.
Signed,
Bamikole Omishore
Special Assistant New Media to President of The Senate.
