Why PDP won’t ‘go against’ #DasukiGate

The Peoples Democratic Party Board of Trustees, says the opposition party is in support of the anti-corruption war of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The opposition party however, cautioned the President against selective justice, stressing that the spotlight of the anti-corruption crusade shouldn’t be beamed on the PDP alone, but also on other political parties and the private sector.

The party also said it won’t ‘go against’ the investigation of the Federal Government into the alleged arms funds diversion by the office of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

Speaking to journalists on Friday, after a the party’s BoT meeting, Senator Walid Jibrin said:“We in the PDP do not support corruption, whoever erred in corruption in Nigeria should be dealt with, but we don’t want selective justice.”

“Anybody that goes wrong, it is not only in PDP that you have corrupt people, and this Dasukigate, is one aspect that this party will not go against.”

“We will not go against it provided that all the people that are alleged to have done bad are brought to book. We are with anybody that will rid Nigeria of corruption, we do not support corruption but as much as we agree that we should deal with corrupt people, it should be fair.”

“Let us put our search not only in PDP, but among all Nigerians, not only among the parties, even in the private sector you have corrupt people.”

“As the conscience of the party, we are trying to dialogue with the aggrieved people, we are ready to dialogue with the founding fathers of this party, immediately after our meeting on the 14th of January and having come with a new chairman, we are going round this nation, we are going first to discuss with our founding fathers, all those who are within and those who have left this party and try to lure them and bring them back to the party because we have all the opportunities now to win again all the elections up to 2019.

“And so we will not play with any member of the party, and we want all party members to be cooperative with all organs of the party, we are a special organ of the party, we are the conscience of this party.”

“If we do not come out and do something now, God will not even forgive us, we must come out and tell the truth and look at the matters as they are; whoever, erred, we must bring him to book, we must advise well, our is advisory but we are given specific functions to do when there is situation of this nature we must come to it. We want to be fair to all, so that on the 14th January we will gather and do the right thing and will fear nobody, whoever erred, it is our duty to say the truth.”

“I don’t believe the party is in shambles, the party is alive and kicking very well. We have many aggrieved people in the party and people who have left this party ‎because of one reason or the other.”
