The
Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) says
President Muhammadu Buhari has exposed himself as the grand patron of looters
with his inauguration of persons with corruption cases in his Presidential
Campaign Council.
The
PPCO challenges President Buhari to display his highly-touted integrity by
handing over the list of his campaign council members to the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for investigation. Unlike the PDP
Presidential Campaign Council, which has no person with corruption case as
member, the Buhari Presidential Campaign Council is a looters list and a
catalogue of ‘who is who’ in corruption.
The
PPCO notes that the fact that President Buhari selected inaugurated and sits as
the Chairman of the council, with persons with corruption cases, shows that he
approves and perhaps have hugely benefited from the corrupt practices for which
they were indicted. There are already allegations that such individuals are
being spared because part of their loots have been diverted to fund President
Buhari’s re-election bid. This development justifies the opinion held by most
Nigerians that President Buhari is not fighting corruption and that his
much-hyped anti-corruption crusade is just an oppressive scheme against the
opposition.
We
invite Nigerians to note that the Director General of the Campaign Council and
majority of the zonal coordinators are individuals with alleged cases of
corruption. Moreover, not only that President Buhari himself now have huge
corruption allegations hanging directly on his neck, particularly the over N11
trillion stolen from the Petroleum sector as well as the 9mobile and Keystone
bank saga, the APC factional National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, is also
facing corruption allegations.
The
PPCO urges the EFCC to get a copy of the list and commence investigation,
particularly as some of the individuals who currently enjoy one immunity or the
other under President Buhari’s cover will lose such immunity, come May 29,
2019.
