Mr Yusuph Olaniyonu, Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, has denied reports that Saraki congratulated APC senator-elect, Dr Ibrahim Oloriegbe.
Reports
have it that Oloriegbe, the APC candidate, who contested against Saraki
in the Saturday National Assembly election, won the Kwara Central
Senatorial District.
Olaniyonu in a statement on Monday urged
party supporters to disregard the report which claimed Saraki conceded
defeat to Oloriegbe.
He said:“The position of the Saraki camp will be communicated to the public later today (Monday).’’
“The
public should disregard any fictitious statements being issued and
shared on WhatsApp. 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,’’ he said.
