PDP has accused President Buhari of shielding members of his family that
were recently alleged to have been part of a fraud syndicate. Read the
statement from the party belowThe Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
challenges President Muhammadu Buhari to showcase his much touted
integrity by allowing an open investigation of his associates and close
relatives, who were mentioned in serial looting of public resources.The
party says that in a bid to further conceal the sleazes of the Buhari
Presidency, the Presidency handlers have gagged the confession of one
Amina Mohammed, paraded by the Department of State Services (DSS), who
revealed in her open confession that persons close to President
Muhammadu Buhari were involved in serial fraud and looting of public
resources under official cover.Having reviewed all these issues,
including the lame denials by those mentioned by the suspect, as well as
the failure of the security agency to allow the suspect to complete her
open confession, the PDP challenges President Buhari to order an open
hearing into the matter, if, indeed, the Presidency has nothing to
hide.The party also challenges President Buhari to immediately make
public the report of the investigation of the former aide of the First
Lady, Mr. Baba-Inna, who was arrested in September this year, over
accusations of receiving N2.5 billion as donations from politicians,
businessmen and women on behalf of the First Lady, Aisha Buhari.Our
party holds that President Buhari cannot be parading himself as Mr.
Integrity while condoning acts of corruption by his associates and close
relatives as well as a cabal in his presidency, which the First Lady
had even alluded to, if he is not directly benefiting from those
sleazesThe PDP also dares President Buhari to make public the official
report allegedly indicting his Presidency on the siphoning of over N11
trillion in the petroleum sector, including the N9 trillion oil sleaze
detailed in the leaked memo at the Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC).Furthermore, the Buhari Presidency should allow an
open inquest into the alleged diversion of defence funds, including part
of the $1 billion drawn from the Excess Crude Account (ECA) for
purchase of military hardware and welfare of our soldiers, to fund his
ill-fated re-election campaign.The PDP also challenges President Buhari
to make public the report of the looting of over N33 billion meant for
the purchase of food for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) as well as
another N18 billion IDP fund, discovered by the Senate, to have been
diverted to APC interests.It is unfortunate that President Buhari has
allowed the festering of sundry racketeering and abuse of fiscal process
in his presidency, a situation, which casts a long shadow on his
acclaimed integrity as a leader.Unless President Buhari allows an open
inquest on his associates and close relatives involved in alleged
treasury looting, he lacks all moral standing to seek re-election by
Nigerians, who have been bearing the brunt of his misrule in the last
three and half years.
