Kwara PDP not part of plot to unseat Saraki

The Peoples Democratic Party  (PDP) in Kwara state has denied being part of any plot to remove the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, from office.

The party also denied that its state chairman, Prince Sunday Fagbemi, has been bribed and coopted into plans to unseat Senator Saraki.

The PDP made these clarifications in a statement signed by its chairman, Prince Sunday Fagbemi, and made available to journalists in Ilorin.

Fagbemi was reacting to a statement credited to the state’s publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Sulyman Buhari, where he alleged that Prince Fagbemi had been bribed and coopted into an alleged plot by some national leaders of APC to remove  Saraki from office.

Fagbemi noted that the crisis between the National Assembly and the presidency was purely an APC  affairs which had nothing to do with the PDP.

He added that the  PDP in Kwara state, which he leads has no connection whatsoever with any leader of APC, either at the state or national level.

“As a party which has the interest of the people at heart, our major pre-occupation now is the preparation towards the forthcoming local government election in the state.

“We have put in place necessary machineries to  ensure that our party emerges victorious, not only in the council poll but also in the  2019 general elections,” he stated.
