Sulyman Buhari, Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, faction loyal to the Senate President Bukola Saraki in Kwara State, has said that it was laughable for anyone to suggest that Saraki was no longer politically relevant.

“Even those who are telling Bukola Saraki not to dump the APC know his value politically even beyond Kwara.

“If they say he is not relevant, I think they are not politically aware,” he said.
