“Be Guided!” Saraki Says No Link To New Party Formed By Ex-Aide

Senate President Bukola Saraki has nothing to do with Action People’s Party.

Neither does he have any existing association with activities of Ikenga Ugochinyere , the chairman of the new political platform.

Ugochinyere was Special Assistant to the Senate President till he resigned the appointment on October 3, 2017, to float the new party.

Saraki through his media person Yusuf Olaniyonu clarifies his current relationship with Ugochinyere in order to avoid unnecessary insinuations and guide against possible mischief in linking him to the new party.

The statement released by Olaniyonu clarifying Saraki’s stance reads, after APP’s public presentation on Monday reads

“Our attention has been drawn to reports by some news platforms that described Mr. Ikenga Ugochinyere, the Chairman of a political party known as “APP” as an aide to the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.

“Please note, that in a letter of resignation addressed to President of the Senate, and dated October 3, 2017, Ugochinyere, who was then President of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, said he had formed a political party and would be resigning his position as Special Assistant on Youth Affairs.

“In this regard, we ask that all platforms be guided in their reporting of the activities of Mr. Ugochinyere and his party, and refrain from including ‘Dr. Saraki’s’ name in any such related stories.”
