Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has denied congratulating the winner of Kwara Central senatorial election, Ibrahim Oloriegbe of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Oloriegbe, a former Majority Leader of the Kwara State House Assembly had polled a total of 123,808 votes to defeat the Senate President and PDP candidate who scored 68,994 votes in the four local governments of Kwara Central Senatorial District.
In the statement released on Monday, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Senate President, Yusuph Olaniyonu, dissociated the Saraki camp from a message being circulated online that the PDP and Saraki have congratulated the APC and its candidates.
Olaniyonu further stated that the position of the Saraki camp will be made known later on Monday.
“The public should disregard any fictitious statements being issued and shared on WhatsApp by the PDP in Kwara. Our position on the election will be communicated later today.
“In the interim, the APC should stop issuing statements congratulating itself and ascribing it to our camp”, the statement reads.
