I’ve not dumped APC, I only attended PDP event as Senate President – Saraki


SarakiThe Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has debunked reports in the social media that he has defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, stressing that he remains “committed to the APC; a party that he helped midwife and worked for its victory in the 2015 elections.”
In a statement forwarded to DAILY POST on Thursday by his Special Assistant, New Media, Bamikole Omishore, the Senate President through his Media Team 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.”
