Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Thursday denied media reports that he had dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This was disclosed in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Social Media, Bamikole Omishore.
Speculation that the former governor of Kwara State had gone back to the party he dumped in 2014 followed his appearance at the PDP Senate caucus meeting on Wednesday.
Omishore however said his principal was not prepared to leave a party he that he “helped midwife and worked for its victory in the 2015 elections”.
He said Saraki attended the PDP event in his official capacity as Senate President and chairman of the 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,” Omishore stated.
