The Peoples Democratic Party has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate and prosecute any of its members found to be corrupt.

The former ruling party said it would neither condone nor albeit corrupt persons, in order to protect its integrity.

National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, said this on Thursday, July 23, in Abuja.

He said, “They (any PDP members found to be corrupt) should be investigated and prosecuted according to the law of the land. All we want is that the law of the land must be followed.

“We will, however, insist that there must be respect for the human rights and that the rights of the individuals must not be violated.

“The law assumes everyone to be innocent until proven otherwise. With this, the government must not see anyone to be corrupt first. They are innocent until found guilty by court of law.”

 

“We as a party will support the fight against corruption. However, the fight must be holistic and there mustn’t be any sacred cow.”
