Former governor of Kwara state and APC staunch member, Bukola Saraki have denied the allegation that said he snub the meeting of the vice-president because he couldn't be summoned by a commissioner.
The comment that had gone viral with many Nigerians saying that the statement is derogatory and surprised by Bukola Saraki statement.
Senator Bukola have via his Twitter account claimed that the statement is wrong and he never said that. The senator said that aside from being the vice-president of Nigeria, his credentials are fantastic.
Also in a statement released by the Bankole Omisore, Senator Saraki Media person, it claims that the senator never receives any invitation from the Vice-president and will never disrespects the office of the VP.
SENATOR SARAKI HAS GREAT RESPECT FOR THE PERSON AND OFFICE OF PROF OSINBAJO
The attention of Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki’s media office has been drawn to a publication by an online tabloid which insinuated that “Senator Saraki Boycotts APC Leadership Meeting To be Chaired by VP Osinbajo”
We wish to categorically state that up to this very point 10:50pm, 8th of June 2015, senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki is yet to receive any official invitation from His Excellency Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria or through any other source for any meeting; political, social or otherwise.
Understanding the importance of last minute consultation required for the inauguration of the 8th Assembly, Senator Saraki has been attending to meetings with colleagues and friends on the program for the 8th assembly.
Senator Saraki having being in public service in different capacity knows the importance of respecting the office and person of the Vice President. And therefore advise those spreading false news to cease and desist.
Senator Saraki therefore, uses this opportunity to assure His Excellency, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President of Federal Republic of Nigeria of his highest regards.
Signed
Bamikole Omishore
