Senate President Bukola Saraki has sought to distance himself from Mr. Ikenga Ugochinyere who is the Chairman of political party “APP”.
Before now, there have been some reports that linked the two, as Mr. Ugochinyere once acted as an aide to the Senate President.
Late last year, however, Mr. Ugochinyere resigned from his job and formed his own political party to which he became chairman.
In a statement signed by his media adviser, Yusuph Olaniyonu, however, Saraki said that Ugochinyere is no longer his aide as he resigned since October 3, 2017.
The statement read in part, “Our attention has been drawn to reports by some news platforms that described Mr. Ikenga Ugochinyere, the Chairman of a political party known as “APP” as an aide to the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
