Contrary to reports on the new media that the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has congratulated the winner and senator-elect of the Kwara Central Senatorial district, Dr. Ibrahim Yahaya Oloriegbe on his recent victory as announced officially by the INEC constituency collation centre in the State.
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Senate President, Yusuph Olaniyonu, has debunked the news that Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki Saraki has congratulated his opponent via a message being shared on Whatsapp which states that the PDP and Saraki have congratulated the APC and its candidate, Dr. Ibrahim Yahaya Oloriegbe.
In the statement released on Monday, Olaniyonu reiterated that the position of the Saraki’s camp would be communicated to the public later today.
His statement reads: “The public should disregard any fictitious statements being issued and shared on WhatsApp by the PDP in Kwara. Our position on the election will be communicated later today.
“In the interim, the APC should stop issuing statements congratulating itself and ascribing it to our camp,” Olaniyonu stated.
