The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State has disclaimed a fake and photoshopped banner of the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, which was put on the internet.
The photoshopped banner was purportedly calling Saraki to contest the 2019 Presidential election.
Saraki had during his recent visit to Ilorin told Nigerians to wait till May, 2018 to know his next  political ambition.
The APC in a statement by its state publicity secretary, Alhaji Sulyman Buhari said: “We had initially chosen to ignore the banner as we believed it was fake, and especially coming from somebody not well known among the supporters of the Senate President.
“However, we later realised with dismay that certain otherwise credible media houses have latched onto the signpost issue and are making news stories out of it. Before the issue of this fake and photoshopped banner becomes an object of political mischief, on behalf of Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki and the Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), we hereby totally dissociate the Senate President from the fake banner, its contents and whatever it represents.
“The signpost design which we have assessed properly is fake and photo shopped and does not exist anywhere in Kwara State or any place in Nigeria for that matter.
“The person who designed the virtual banner is not a well known person in the state and does not have any affiliation to Dr Saraki or the APC in Kwara State.
“That the photo shopped banner design is neither authorised by the party or its leaders and therefore does not in any way represents the position of either Dr. Saraki or the APC leadership in Kwara State.
“Finally, we will like to reiterate for the umpteenth time that the Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has not authorised anyone to commence any form of partisan campaigns for him.”
