Contrary to the Peoples Democratic Party’s position that President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to the United States was a fruitless effort, a
former Senate Deputy Chief Whip, Senator Gbenga Aluko, has said it would boost the fight against corruption and Boko Haram insurgency in the country.

Aluko, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress , who was Buhari’s entourage to US , being a Director in American Chevron Oil,

said President Barack Obama’s resolve to join the fray in Nigeria’s fight against corruption and sectarian crisis,  had raised the hope
that the war would be successful.

On the factional crisis rocking the State chapter of the APC, Aluko, who recently defected to the party from PDP, urged President Buhari to
quickly intervene and unify all the factions for the party to be able to wrest power from Governor Ayodele Fayose in 2018.

Aluko, a member of the fourth  Senate advised the APC  to continue to seek reconciliation on the crisis surrounding emergence of Senator
Bukola Saraki as Senate President, saying “based on the politics of legislature, Saraki's hands were tied under the circumstance Senator Ike Ekweremadu emerged his  Deputy”.
