The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Oyegun, recently mocked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying the opposition party lacked the moral right to speak on the state of the nation.Oyegun said the party also lacked the moral justification to criticise President Muhammadu Buhari as he struggles to redeem Nigeria from the dungeon the PDP had thrown the country into. The national chairman said this in a statement issued by his media office in Abuja on According to the party chief , “it is stomach-churning and downright immoral for the ruinous PDP, which has yet to show remorse or exhibit any form of penitence for presiding over the mindless looting of the nation’s treasury, to now put itself up as the saviour of Nigerians.” Oyegun who noted that even among thieves, there must be honour, said Nigerians, who are now bearing the brunt of the economy that was mindlessly mismanaged by the PDP, cannot forget in a hurry that some $15 billion – which is about half of the nation’s foreign reserves at the end of the tenure of the PDP-led federal government – was mismanaged under the guise of the equipping the military, when in reality the funds were largely salted away by PDP fat cats.

According to him, Nigerians are not unaware that just before the last general elections, some $2.1 billion was shared out to just a few PDP faithful, either to be used for praying against Boko Haram or for phantom communication purposes, when in reality the soldiers whom the money was meant to equip were dying in droves. He listed other instances of the massive looting of the national till under the PDP to include: 1. The $20 billion in oil proceeds that was never paid into the Federation Account 2. The N33 trillion in national oil revenue that was not accounted for, considering that while the nation earned in excess of N56 trillion over five years under the last Administration, the total budget for those years amounted to about N23 trillion 3. The $47 million that was distributed to a few individuals just to oil the election process before the last polls. He said while indeed it was glaring that the PDP-led administration was profligate and rapacious, nothing prepared Nigerians for the mind-boggling discoveries that have emerged in the past one year, including the fact that just a handful of people could have plundered far more than half of what belonged to a country of over 170 million people.
