Read the full statement below:
Re: Saliu Mustapha in a fix, as he struggles to distance himself from AA.
Our attention has been drawn to a publication, making rounds on the social media earlier today, that our principal, the APC Senatorial Candidate for Kwara Central and the Turaki of Ilorin, Mallam Saliu Mustapha, has been trying to dissociate himself from the Governor of Kwara State, Mallam Abdulrazaq Abdulrahman.
While, we would not have dignified such mischievous report with a response, we are constrained in light of numerous requests by our followers who have asked us to openly take a stand.
For the avoidance of doubt, our principal, maintains a cordial relationship, with Mallam Abdulrazaq Abdulrahman, and recognise him as his leader. Therefore, they will continue to work together for the progress of Kwara.
It is therefore untrue, that Turaki has been trying to dissociate himself from the Governor.
The said story should therefore be ignored as the handiwork of mischief makers and disgruntled elements.
Turaki Salihu Mustapha is a strong ally of Governor Abdulrahman. He believes in his leadership and is proud of all his achievements and also believes he deserves a second term.
Signed.
Turaki Media Team.
