In a message signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki stated that Mohammad bin Salman’s appointment as the heir apparent to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was a testament to the achievements of the young prince since his appointment as the youngest Defense Minister in the World, and Chairman of the Saudi Arabian Council for Economic and Development Affairs.
