Saraki: I’ve not dumped APC for PDP

The Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, Sen. Gbemi Saraki, has debunked a report making the rounds that she has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Saraki, in a statement issued on Tuesday by her media consultant, Moses Bello, denied joining the PDP and supporting the party’s gubernatorial candidate in Kwara State, Abdullahi Yaman.

The minister noted that she worked tirelessly to ensure the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, won the just concluded presidential election in Kwara State “despite a few disagreements with the actions of the APC-led state government in aggressively deconstructing the late Oloye Sola Saraki’s legacies.”

She stated that she remains an APC chieftain, stressing that she has no intention of dumping the party.

“If anything, I am even more committed to ensuring the success of the incoming Ashiwaju/Shettima administration come May 29,” Saraki added.
