We’ll stay in PDP – Saraki

The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Reconciliation Committee, Bukola Saraki, has said he never directed any of his supporters to join the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in the state.

Saraki disclosed this while assuring his supporters that he would remain in PDP, expressing confidence that the ongoing efforts to reposition the party would yield fruitful results.

The former Senate President spoke while addressing stakeholders of the party across the 16 local government councils of the state at his home in Ilorin, Kwara State.

He said the meeting was an avenue to address stakeholders as family members.

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.”
