Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to end their silence and
speak out on the alleged N21billion, guns and thousands of Permanent
Voter Cards (PVCs) allegedly found in the residence of the sacked
Director General of the Department of State Services, Lawal Daura.
Read the party’s statement in full below;
“The
world can now see that the PDP has not been raising a false alarm when
it alerts that the Buhari Presidency has been using its much hyped fight
against corruption and sustained harassment of opposition as a cover to
divert public attention from the humongous stealing going on under
President Buhari’s official cover.
Nigerians have now seen that
while the Buhari Presidency and the APC have been hounding and harassing
opposition members with trumped-up corruption charges to create an
impression of integrity and fight against corruption, their agents have
been busy frittering away, and warehousing trillions of naira,
ostensibly for their 2019 re-election and service their wasteful
lifestyles, while millions of compatriots wallow in abject poverty
across the nation.
Today, the sneaky ways of this Presidency
have further been exposed and it must not in any way seek to disown the
sacked DSS DG as Nigerians already know that he was merely one out of
the numerous agents being used by the APC and Presidency cabal in their
nefarious activities, including warehousing money, fake PVCs and weapons
to be unleashed during the 2019 elections.
What the APC and the
Buhari Presidency should note is the eternal reality that though the
truth may be suppressed for a while, it always has a way of showing
itself to light at the end. Nigerians are already aware of the leaked
memo detailing alleged underhand oil contracts to the tune of N9
trillion at the NNPC and the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, which are
under the direct supervision of Mr. President.
They are already
aware of the alleged stealing of over N25 billion, meant for the health
needs of the people, from the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS)
and how the indicted and suspended Executive Secretary was recalled by
Mr. President.
They are aware of the alleged diversion of crude
oil worth N1.1tr, using 18 unregistered companies; the diversion of N18
billion Internally Displaced Person (IDP) funds and billions of
unremitted revenue from sale of crude for which there have been deadlock
at the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC), all of which are
being swept under the carpet by the Buhari Presidency.
The time
is ripe for the Buhari Presidency and its disintegrating APC to tell the
nation how these corruption acts were allegedly perpetrated under an
administration that lay claim to integrity.”
