President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki on Monday “stopped press” on the congratulatory message he issued on the 60th birthday of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
“STOP PRESS, PLEASE DISREGARD STATEMENT ON JONATHAN” was sent to journalists, by Saraki’s CPS.
“Dear colleagues/Editor, please kindly DISREGARD the statement congratulating ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on his 60th birthday. Thanks. CPS, he said.

Earlier, Saraki in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, in Abuja, lauded the ex-president’s contribution to the progress of democracy and overall development of the country.
