The senate president, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has denied having anything to do with the political party, APP, formed by his former special assistant on youth affairs, Mr. Ikenga Ugochinyere. Ugochinyere resigned few days ago to form the party.
However, the media spokesman to Saraki, Yusuph Olaniyonu, in a message made available to Global Excellence online, said that the senate has nothing to do with the party.
Olaniyonu’s message reads:
“Please note, that in a letter of resignation addressed to President of the Senate, and dated October 3, 2017, Ugochinyere, who was then President of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, said he had formed a political party and would be resigning his position as Special Assistant on Youth Affairs.
In this regard, we ask that all platforms be guided in their reporting of the activities of Mr. Ugochinyere and his party, and refrain from including “Dr. Saraki’s” name in any such related stories.”
