PDP to Sagay: Advise Buhari to present his anti-corruption achievements

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the Chairman of
the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-corruption, Prof. Itse
Sagay, to help President Muhammadu Buhari compile list of his
achievements in the fight against corruption.

Rather than recording success, the PDP noted that the Buhari-led
All Progressives Congress (APC) administration is going down in
history as the most corrupt administration ever. The party, in a
statement yesterday by the National Publicity Secretary, Kola
Ologbondiyan, described the APC as “a stinking sanctuary of
treasury thieves that thrives in manipulation, deception and
official concealment.”

It alleged that the sum of over N14 trillion was looted from the
nation’s treasury under the watch of President Buhari. The party
said Prof. Itse Sagay should help the nation “by advising President
Buhari to present his stewardship for investigation for alleged
corruption,” accusing the presidential advisory committee chairman
of “unnecessary fixation on court rulings on Rivers State.”
According to the statement, Buhari must show his integrity by
opening up his tenure for investigation, the same way his
presidency is demanding of other elected officials in the
legislature and state governments across the country.

“It is totally unpardonable that President Buhari, despite his
claimed integrity andzerotoleranceforcorruption, not only
superintended over an administration that reeks and wallows in
ocean of corruption but also refused to allow any investigation
into earth shaking corruption under his watch,” the party
stated.

PDP gave the president, a 14-day ultimatum to explain to
Nigerians the whereabouts of N9 trillion (about $25billion)
allegedly stolen in the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, through
underhand oil contracts as detailed in the leaked NNPC memo.
