The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kwara State has described as fake and unreal the presidential posters and banners of the Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki, circulating on the internet.
The banners are purportedly calling on Saraki to contest the 2019 presidential election, even as the senate president recently urged people to be patient until May 2018 before declaring his next political move.
But in a statement by its state Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Sulyman Buhari on Tuesday, the state’s APC, said: “We had initially chosen to ignore the banner as we believed it was fake, and especially coming from somebody not well known among the supporters of the senate president.
“However, we later realised with dismay that certain otherwise credible media houses have latched onto the signpost issue and are making news stories out of it.
“Before the issue of this fake and photo-shopped banner becomes an object of political mischief, on behalf of Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki and the Kwara State chapter of the APC, we hereby totally dissociate the senate president from the fake banner, its contents and whatever it represents.”
