The All Progressives Congress has expressed disbelief at the magnitude of corruption discovered while going through the records of the previous administration.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, revealed this to Punch, in Abuja, on Thursday, July 23.
His statement was in reaction to the President Muhammadu Buhari’s revelation that some officials of the Goodluck Jonathan administration were involved in stealing one million barrel of crude oil daily.
Mohammed said, “We are not just shocked but taken aback by what we have found. We have always known that there was monumental corruption under the previous regime but we did not know it was this huge.
“Anybody who calls the questions we are asking a witch-hunt is a person who condones corruption, and again, when we were raising the alarm over this level of corruption they were engaged in, they said we were crying wolf where there was none.
“They said it never happened. They even went as far as manufacturing figures to cover up. We must ask questions so that whoever is coming into government will know that it cannot be business as usual and that he/she must be prepared to answer questions after they leave office.”
