Read press statement from PDP belowThe Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
says Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, as a preacher, should search his
soul, seek forgiveness and make restitution for entangling himself in
corruption and sharp practices, instead of his lame effort at
concealment in the N5.8 billion Northeast Intervention Fund scandal.It
is heart-rending that Prof. Osinbajo, despite his sanctimonious
posturing, is being fingered in the frittering of the N5.8 billion meant
for the purchase of food and general welfare of suffering Internally
Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the Northeast.Prof. Osinbajo should know
that he has come to the end of the road and that Nigerians have
completely lost faith in him, since the House of Representatives exposed
his complicity in this unpardonable debauchery against weak and
vulnerable citizens.Instead of asking for forgiveness and making
restitutions, Prof. Osinbajo is busy trying to divert attention from the
reeking corruption of the Buhari administration, while bandying figures
in an attempt to distance himself from the failures of this
administration.Is it not revealing of the arrogance of this
administration that Prof. Osinbajo, even in the face of indictment by
the House of Representatives, still conjures the temerity to confront
Nigerians and try to wave off this corrupt act?We ask; how can Prof.
Osinbajo find inner peace when all the six states of the Northeast
reported that they never received the emergency intervention for food
security?From the probe, which exposed how the Vice President, then as
Acting President, in 2017, drew N5.8 billion from the Consolidated
Revenue Fund of the Federation, without the appropriation of the
National Assembly, only to superintend over the purported spending as
the Chairman of Board of the National Emergency Management Agency
(NEMA), it is clear that it was never in the interest of the suffering
and displaced masses.The PDP therefore expects Prof. Osinbajo to end his
grandstanding, show remorse and make restitutions for this debauchery
against humanity. The post N5.8bn NEMA scandal: PDP asks Osinbajo to make refunds, seek restitution
