Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has said that he will not dump the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The Senate President spoke with Punch through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, on Tuesday.
He pointed out that as a founding father of the APC, he would remain in the party.
He said, “There is nothing like that and there is nothing to suggest that. Every member must come from somewhere. Are you going to ask the President [Muhammadu Buhari] whether he would go back to the Congress for Progressive Change?
“You’re not going to ask Asiwaju [Bola Tinubu] whether he will return to the Action Congress of Nigeria.
