Senate President Bukola Saraki however, has denied knowledge of the guidelines. His special adviser on media, Yusuph Olaniyonu, in a telephone interview, said although the Senate president is the political leader of the National Assembly, the management never brought issues of media accreditation to his attention.

Former Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki has described the claim by Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq that he embezzled the Universal Basic Education Fund and also used his position as Senate President to prevent the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from investigating the case as an outright lie.

This is contained in a press statement issued by his Press Officer on Local Matters, Abdulganiyu Abdulqadir made available to journalists in Ilorin on Monday.

It will be recalled that Abdulrahman allegedly made the claim on Sunday while speaking at the inauguration of the campaign council of the APC Senatorial Candidate for Kwara Central, Mallam Saliu Mustapha.
