Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has debunked rumour that he has left the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
There were media reports not too long ago that Saraki had called it quit the APC because he was spotted at the PDP Senate’s caucus meeting on Wednesday.
But reacting on Thursday, the former governor of Kwara State, who has been having it rough with his party, said he is still committed to the APC.
In a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Social Media, Bamikole Omishore, the Senate President stressed that he was not prepared to leave a party he “helped midwife and worked for its victory in the 2015 elections.”
According to Saraki, he attended the said meeting in his “official capacity as Senate President and chairman, National Assembly.”
He explained he was at the meeting towards its end and spent only 30 minutes before leaving the members to continue with the gathering.
“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,” the statement said.
