Former Governor of Kebbi State and Senator of the Federal Republic, Sen. Adamu Aliero has accused Senator Bukola Saraki’s group of peddling falsehood over the senate presidency ambition of their boss, Bukola Saraki.

The Senator who faulted a recent report in the media that Saraki had been endorsed by the North West, said it is definitely not the North West that he belongs, affirming that Senator Lawan’s 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.’’

The Senator made this assertion in a statement he issued on Tuesday in Abuja.

He 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.
