Bukola Saraki, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Reconciliation Committee, has clarified that he did not instruct any of his supporters to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the state.
Gatekeepers News reports that at the a meeting held at his residence in Ilorin, Kwara State, Saraki reassured his supporters of his continued commitment to the PDP.
He expressed optimism regarding the ongoing efforts aimed at revitalizing the party, believing that these initiatives will lead to positive outcomes.
The meeting was attended by stakeholders from across the 16 local government councils in the state, providing a platform for Saraki to communicate with party members in a familial and collaborative manner.
He said: “I’m here as a democrat, whose people have asked to clarify a number of issues about the party.
“You have all been observing what’s been happening at the national level of our party and you want to know the situation. I owe you that to come down and explain to you.
“We are staying in PDP because ongoing efforts to reposition the party will yield fruitful results, so we are committed to the party.
“Number two, you’re all aware of innuendo that has been given about what I know and what I don’t know.
“I believe I must come and let you hear from the horse’s mouth, so you can know the true position of the matter. I never directed anyone to go to ADC in the state.”
