Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman
of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) has stated
that Musiliu Obanikoro’s defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC)
would not end his case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC).
The former minister is undergoing
investigation for his role in the diversion of public funds and money
laundering allegations.
Reacting, Sagay told
Independent that there will be no soft landing for Obanikoro.
“His joining APC cannot save him
from answering for the corruption cases hanging on his neck.
”I can assure you it cannot,
because APC is not EFCC.
“They are two different things
and if he thinks by joining APC, nothing will be heard of his case again, then
he is making a mistake”, he said.
Speaking at the defection
ceremony, Obanikoro said he had a mission to render service on the APC
platform.
“Today, I and others are not just
joining the APC for joining sake, we are joining because we are on a mission.
“I had joined the PDP a few years
ago with the hope that certain things would be done right to enable me make the
desired impact. That did not happen.
“And now, Asiwaju Tinubu has
taken leadership to another level, not only in the state, but at the national
level.
“So, my joining the APC is not by
accident. It is to return to my people and seek a platform on which I can
render service to my people, because leadership is about service and
co-ordination of talents to achieve results.
“We have looked everywhere, and
the only party that offers that platform for service delivery is the APC.
“For me, this is not really a
defection; it is a home-coming, because in a way, this is my root. I am happy
to return to my people; no place like home,” he said.
