I didn't spend N329M on any official car Saraki cries out

The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has denied allegation that he spent over N329million to replace vehicles on its official fleet as part of the N4.7billion budgeted by the Senate for car purchase this year.
Saraki while reacting to the allegation by an online medium, said that it was only his official car inherited from former Senate President,David Mark, that was replaced and no any other one.
The statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Yusuph Olaniyonu reads: “It is an obvious fact that the official and spare cars that the Senate President inherited and has been using are old and have been malfunctioning. There are instances like the day Dr. Saraki visited Keffi for the marriage of the daughter of SenatorAbdullahi Adamu and another day at the Presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport that the spare vehicle broke down. In both instances, the spare vehicle did not return home with the convoyThe same vehicle had malfunctioned at the Presidential Villa and National Mosque on different occasions. It is for this reason that the Senate President approved that instead of providing two vehicles for him as he is entitled, only one should be bought to replace the official vehicle while the old official car should be converted to spare car.
“Also, if the National Assembly Management chose to provide operational vehicles for Security Agencies, should that be presented as if they are personal or official vehicles meant for the use of Dr. Saraki? These are vehicles that cannot be used for other purposes and by other people. The Senate President also have no control over the security vehicles.”
