According to reports, Yusuf Olaniyonu, Senator Saraki’s newly appointed Special Adviser on Media, had disclosed this to newsmen.

“I have appointed Senator Isa Gbadu as my Chief of Saff and also Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu as Special Adviser on Media.

“Please Note the appointments take effect immediately,” read his post on Facebook.

The Senate President had already defied the directives of the APC to appoint their hand picked choices for these strategical positions.
