The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday informed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that it lacks the luxury to dictate how to fight the war against corruption.
Mai Mala Buni, APC national secretary released a statement reacting to the PDP Senators’ threat to withdraw support for the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The attention of the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to a statement credited to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senate caucus stating that it has withdrawn its support for the government of President Muhammadu Buhari over the administration’s hugely successful war against corruption.”
“The PDP caucus must be reminded of their primary responsibility of lawmaking and representation of their constituents at the national assembly. The APC advises the PDP senate caucus not to allow political shenanigans to becloud overall national interest.”
“The PDP and their agents do not have the luxury of dictating how the current administration and anti-corruption agencies carries out its legitimate duty of investigating and prosecuting cases of corruption, as long as it conforms to the rule of law.”
“The PDP caucus allegations of a selective anti-corruption fight and ‘belligerent’ stance of the current administration is hogwash and baseless.”
“If the PDP and its agents have proof of corruption against anybody, the APC advises that they approach anti-graft agencies constitutionally mandated to handle such cases instead of declaring innocence on newspaper pages and other media outlets.”
“The APC urges anti-corruption agencies not to be stampeded and blackmailed by this new plot and continue to employ all legitimate avenues in investigating and prosecuting ongoing corruption cases.”
“The generality of Nigerians clamour for all looters of public funds to be brought to book. The APC assures Nigerians that the political will and sincerity of purpose of the current administration to tackle corruption remains resolute.”
