Senate President’s Media Office has dismissed the reports making the rounds on social media that Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki has defected from the ruling All Progressive s Congress (APC) to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
A statement by Saraki’s Special Assistant on New Media, Bamikole Omishore, said “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.”
