Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki has distanced himself from reports of teaming up with the opposition coalition ahead of 2027 presidential election.
Saraki described the reports as jaundiced opinions and
fabrications about his political leanings and associations ahead of the 2027.
In a statement by Yusuph Olaniyonu of the the Abubakar
Bukola Saraki Media Office, the former Kwara State governor urged Nigerians to
disregard the report.
He said the opposition in Kwara State allegedly concocted
from the story by manufacturing quotes alongside a graphic design of their own
to create a fresh falsehood.
The statement reads: “It should be noted that the reporter
of the story quoted unnamed sources and faceless individuals who he claimed
attended a meeting with Dr. Saraki. He also sought the opinions of people who
he did not tell the detail of the story he wanted them to respond to.
“We believe his story came from his misconception of why Dr
Saraki has refused to associate with or comment on the ongoing efforts by some
politicians to form a coalition. It is equally obvious that he simply decided
to package as a news story the permutations, projections, and calculations of
some individuals who believe they could proffer a reason for the quiet stance
of the former Senate President.
“Anybody who has associated closely with Dr. Saraki will
know that either in the public or private space, he does not speak carelessly
and in a manner that can expose him to ridicule.
“He is always a careful and frugal speaker. The views
expressed in that news story and the concocted graphic design in circulation do
not represent the position of Dr. Saraki. He has nothing to do with them.
“We, therefore, call on well-meaning Nigerians to disregard
and ignore the false claims contained either in the story published by the
newspaper or the warped version of it being circulated online by elements of
the opposition in Kwara State.”
