ABUJA (Sundiata Pos) – The crisis rocking the ruling All Peoples Congress (APC) has taken a new dimension as Senator Adamu Aliero has accused the group supporting Senator Bukola Saraki of peddling falsehood as truth.
In a statement made available to Sundiata Post on Tuesday, Aliero, a senator from Kebbi State, denied claims by the Saraki Group that the group has secured support of senators from the Northwest endorsing Senator Bukola Saraki for senate presidency.
Aliero said: “I have read with surprising disgust the story published in one of the national dailies in which infantile claims were made about the purported blanket support secured by Senator Saraki from the North West for his Senate Presidency ambition. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
“I want to state categorically that the North West of which I am a member has not given such a blanket support to Senator Saraki. The story published in the paper titled, “Senate Presidency: Saraki Consolidates as Lawan’s Group Hits the Rock”, is riddled with innuendos, half truths and political incantations of no value.
“The Senator Lawan group remains in strong contention and will not descend to the level of disparaging anyone through sponsored stories that are fabrications and aimed at misleading the unsuspecting public.”
