SOLACEBASE gathered that the suspension rumour was among other issues tied to alleged misappropriation of fund at the 2023 general elections by the former number three citizen of Nigeria.
Sources at the party said Bukola Saraki allegedly collected funds from the national headquarters of the party for the prosecution of elections in Kwara State but did not release same to the party at the state level.
In the communique issued after the State Working Committee meeting in Ilorin, the party urged members to be calm and disregard the rumoured suspension of the former two-term governor of the state.
