One former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has guaranteed that he is supportive, committed, and loyal to President Muhammadu Buhari.

This commitment was publicized in a statement released by Abubakar's media office. His pledge is a strategic countermove to address the rumors that he was the secretly behind Bukola Saraki's emergence as Senate President.

Saraki, who is also a member the All Progressive Congress (APC) like Atiku and President Buhari, became Senate President against the wish of his Party after he received support from a coalition of APC factions and PDP Senate members in an election where 51 APC Senators were absent.

Mr. Abubakar who, like Saraki, left PDP for APC before this year's general elections said that Saraki's move was an "interplay of politics which is itself in constant motion."

Regardless, the statement signed by Paul Ibe, the head of Abubakar’s media team, said "make no mistake about it Atiku Abubakar holds Buhari in the highest esteem, and would always remain loyal to him, and support him in every endeavor to succeed as president."

"In politics, it is a mistake to expect fixed outcomes. As the President has done, let's all come to terms with what has happened in the interest of the system and move on."
