Having assumed the former role of the All Progressives Congress, it’s unsurprising that the Peoples Democratic Party, is taking a page from the ruling party’s book, by throwing around wild and unsubstantiated allegations as well as spurious claims.
It is the opposition party after all.
Perhaps that’s what they are expected to do, no?
The PDP says it has “incontrovertible evidence that grave corrupt practices are ongoing and allowed to fester by associates and cronies of government.”
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Olisa Metuh, said this in a statement released in Abuja on Thursday.
With quotes like ‘Charity begins at home’, ‘Physician, heal thyself’- the PDP declared that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, is a product of corruption.
The statement said in part:
“The onus lies on the APC-led Federal Government to wage a credible holistic anti-corruption war by first purging itself of unclean association and coming out clear on sleazes already going on in government quarters since it took office in May.
“Whereas the PDP restates its respect for the person and office of the President as well as our support for the war against corruption, it is incumbent on us to alert Nigerians of the prevailing circumstances around this government that are capable of fundamentally undermining good governance if left unchecked.
“Charity, they say, begins at home. For the APC-led government, it has now become a question of ‘physician, heal thyself.’
“Every discerning mind knows that this administration is not executing a credible holistic war against corruption because it is a product of corruption, surrounded by corrupt persons; a factor apparently responsible for its obvious blind eyes to huge sleazes now being perpetrated in government agencies by persons claiming closeness to the President.”
