The Senate president, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on Thursday denied news making the rounds, that he had de-camped to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The speculation followed Saraki's appearance at the Wednesday meeting of the PDP Senate caucus.
In a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Social Media, Bamikole Omishore, Saraki said he remained committed to the ideals and agenda of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and that he was not prepared to leave a party which he "helped midwife and worked for its victory in the 2015 elections".
According to Omishore, Saraki attended the PDP event in "his official capacity as Senate President and Chairman, National Assembly."
Omishore said: "He attended the end of session event of the PDP caucus yesterday evening and spent only 30 minutes before leaving the members to continue with the event.
"The Senate President would like to assure every Nigerian that he is committed to the APC-led government and appreciates the confidence reposed in him and the APC during the 2015 General Elections."
