Saraki Denies "Biased Claims" on 2027 Political Affiliations
Former Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki has vehemently denied what he termed "biased opinions and fabrications" regarding his political affiliations and associations ahead of the 2027 general elections. He urged associates, supporters, and the public to dismiss such claims.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by Yusuph Olaniyonu of the Abubakar Bukola Saraki Media Office, the former Kwara State governor refuted a news article published in a national newspaper (not LEADERSHIP). The article allegedly cited unnamed associates of Saraki and misrepresented discussions from a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders' meeting in Ilorin, Kwara State.
The Media Office condemned the report as "spin and manipulation," accusing opposition factions in Kwara of concocting fake quotes and creating misleading graphics to propagate falsehoods online. The statement emphasised that the claims were baseless and designed to distort Saraki's political stance.
“We urge the public and political allies to disregard these fabrications, which are clearly orchestrated to undermine unity within the PDP and mislead voters ahead of 2027,” the Media Office asserted.
“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,” stated the Media Office.
