APC’s anti-graft war, vendetta against opposition, PDP insists

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday, carpeted the Anti-Corruption war of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), describing it as a vendetta targeted at former PDP leaders, members and other perceived enemies of the government.”

Reacting to the discharge and acquittance of former Governor of Adamawa State, James Bala Ngilari, by the Appeal Court in Yola, the party lamented that “PDP men and women have been harassed, intimidated and subjected to harrowing legal prosecution simply to score cheap political points and cow the opposition into silence.”

A statement signed by PDP spokesman, Dayo Adeyeye, said it was unfortunate that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration had completely granted protection to persons close to him no matter how corrupt.

“Nigerians and members of the International Community are still waiting for the Report of the Presidential Committee headed by the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, investigating the PINE allegation involving the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr. David Babachir Lawal and the Cash Recovered at Osborne Road, Ikoyi Lagos. The Committee was set-up on April 19, 2017 to submit its report within 14 days; maybe it will be submitted tomorrow.”
