Senate President Bukola Saraki says the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, did not travel to the United States as an aide to the Senate President.
The All Progressives Congress had said Atiku was finally allowed to travel to the US because he posed as an aide to Saraki.
Speaking today, Saraki, who is the Director-General, Atiku Abubakar Campaign Organisation, described the allegation as nonsensical.
Saraki also lambasted the Buhari-led government for operating an opaque fuel subsidy regime.
The Senate President, who exposed subsidy fraud at the National Assembly in 2011, said the corruption was still taking place.
He admitted that corruption thrived under former President Goodluck Jonathan’s subsidy regime but argued that Buhari’s own was worse because his government was give money to marketers with funds that were not approved by the National Assembly.
