The Senate President, Bukola Saraki has refuted media reports claiming that he snubbed National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu during the recent inauguration of Rotimi Akeredolu as Ondo State Governor.
Saraki cleared the air over the rumour through his Special Assistant on New Media, Mr. Bankole Omisore, who stressed that the alleged report of him snubbing Tinubu definitely did not happen.
He added, “Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu was granting an interview when @bukolasaraki greeted him and others but he could not respond so well at that particular time. That is why Tinubu called Saraki and the Senate President replied with a courtesy and reminded him that he greeted him but didn’t want to interfere with his interview.”
