Saraki has no block support in Northwest, says Aliero
Senator Adamu Aliero yesterday faulted the claim that Senator Bukola Saraki’s Senate presidency ambition has received a blanket support from some senators in some states in the Northwest.
Aliero, a former Kebbi State governor, in a statement yesterday, said there was no meeting of senators from the zone with Saraki during his visit at the weekend.
The statement said: “I have read with surprising disgust the story published in one of the national dailies in which infantile claims were made about the purported blanket support secured by Senator Saraki from Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara in the Northwest for his Senate Presidency ambition.
“Nothing could be farther from the truth. No such meeting took place with Kebbi’s senators-elect. This is not correct.
“I want to state categorically that such a meeting never took place and thus no blanket support could have been secured as claimed by the Saraki group in a news report titled: “Senate Presidency: Saraki consolidates as Lawan’s Group hits the rock.”
The report, he described, was “riddled with innuendos, half truths and political incantations of no value.”
“The Senator Ahmed Lawan group remains in strong contention and will not descend to the level of disparaging anyone through sponsored stories that are fabrications and aimed at misleading the unsuspecting public.”
