Apparently, in reaction his reported defection to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki has debunked defection claims, saying he remained a bonafide member of the All Progressives Congress.
The embattled Saraki stressed that he remains “committed to the APC; a party that he helped midwife and worked for its victory in the 2015 elections.”
According to Daily Post, Saraki in a statement issued on his behalf on Thursday by his Special Assistant, New Media, Bamikole Omishore, asserted that claims of his purported defection making the rounds on social media were entirely untrue.
The statement explained that, “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.”
