The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has denied reports making the rounds that he will run for the presidency in the 2019 general elections, saying, if he has decided, “you would have seen the report in major dailies.”
The Boss newspaper had reported that Mr Saraki will join the 2019 presidential race.
“Impeccable sources reveal that as he plots his move for the Presidency, he is said to be considering building alliances with all Nigerians of like minds,” the newspaper exclusively reported.
However, in an interview with Daily Independent, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Mr Saraki said there was no iota of truth in the report.
He said: “The report is false. If it is true that he is contesting, you would have seen the report (sic) in major dailies since last week Saturday when the news broke out on social media. But as you can see, there is nothing like that.”
