The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Reconciliation Committee, Bukola Saraki, has clarified that he never instructed any of his supporters to defect to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kwara State. Saraki gave the assurance while reaffirming his commitment to the PDP and expressing optimism that the ongoing efforts to reposition the party would produce positive outcomes. The former Senate President made the remarks during a meeting with party stakeholders from the 16 local government areas of the state, held at his residence in Ilorin. He described the gathering as a family meeting aimed at strengthening internal unity within the party. 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.”
