No Amount of Complaints from PDP Will Stop Probe, Arrest of Corrupt Officials - APC

The All Progressives Congress has stressed that despite protests and criticisms from the PDP, the Buhari-led administration will continue investigating suspected corruption persons. 

 

 

The ruling APC has stated that protests from the opposition People's Democratic Party will not stop the federal government and the anti-corruption agencies from investigating and summoning suspected corruption persons..

 

The APC, in a statement issued on Monday, October 19, by the party's National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammedalso invalidated claims by the PDP that the anti-corruption war of the Buhari administration was selective.

This came as the opposition warned the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, to stop embarrassing Buhari on his attempts to counteract facts presented by the party that this administration was selective in its anti-corruption fight.

 

APC in the statement, said: “The ceaseless cry of selective anti-corruption battle is a bogey invented by the PDP to intimidate the anti-corruption agencies, and it will not work. It is the PDP’s strategy to stifle the fight against corruption.

 

‘’How can the PDP claim to support the anti-graft battle when every time any of its members is called in for questioning, it runs to the media to shout that the battle is ‘selective’? Is it possible that anyone who is invited for questioning will not belong to a party, an ethnic group or a certain faith?’’ It quizzed.

 

‘’Those who have nothing to fear must be willing to clear their names by honouring any invitation, and only the guilty needs be afraid. The PDP must stop being hysterical over such invitations which are not going to stop simply because the opposition has called a press conference to cry wolf where there is none,’’" the party added
