As 2019 draws near with its political permutation, the All Progressives Congress, APC, has on Tuesday, released a statement exonerating Senate President, Bukola Saraki, from “a fake and photo-shopped” banner, being circulated on the internet.
The photo-shopped banner is purportedly calling on Saraki, to contest the 2019 Presidential election.
Recall, that Saraki had during his recent visit to Ilorin, told Nigerians to wait until May 2018, to know his next political ambition.
The Kwara State APC, in a statement by its State Publicity Secretary, Sulyman Buhari, said: “We had initially chosen to ignore the banner, as we believed it was fake, and especially coming from somebody not well known among the supporters of the Senate President.
“However, we later realised with dismay, that certain otherwise credible media houses have latched onto the signpost issue, and are making news stories out of it. Before the issue of this fake and photo-shopped banner becomes an object of political mischief, on behalf of Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, and the Kwara State chapter of the APC, we hereby totally dissociate the Senate President from the fake banner, its contents, and whatever it represents”, he said.
