The statement read, “I, Shola Oniru am aware of a viral video circulating on the social media in which I am being mistaken for the son of the former Governor of Kwara State (and past President of the 8th Nigeria National Assembly) Dr. Olubukola Abubakar Saraki, MBBS, CON.
“This Public Notice is to correct this viral and false representation that has caused massive embarrassment to my family and the Saraki Family.
