Bukola Saraki, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Reconciliation Committee, says that he never instructed any of his followers to join the state’s African Democratic Congress, (ADC).
Saraki said this while reassuring his fans that he would stay in the PDP and that he was certain the continuous attempts to realign the party would be successful.
At his residence in Ilorin, Kwara State, the former Senate President addressed party members from all 16 local government councils in the state.
Addressing stakeholders as family members was the purpose of the gathering, he added.
He said: “I’m here as a democrat, whose people have asked to clarify a number of issues about the party.
“You have all been observing what’s been happening at the national level of our party and you want to know the situation. I owe you that to come down and explain to you.
“We are staying in PDP because ongoing efforts to reposition the party will yield fruitful results, so we are committed to the party.
“Number two, you’re all aware of innuendo that has been given about what I know and what I don’t know.
“I believe I must come and let you hear from the horse’s mouth, so you can know the true position of the matter. I never directed anyone to go to ADC in the state.”
