A former member of the Federal
House of Representatives, Mr West Idahosa, has faulted the controversial list
of treasury looters released by the Federal Government.
Idahosa speaking with Channels TV
called on the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to be fair in the
anti-corruption war.
He faulted Lai Mohammed for
failing to reflect the names of the All Progressives Congress, APC, members who
served in previous PDP administrations, as well as former military personnel
standing trial for corruption and financial crime.
Idahosa said “I would have
expected that in good conscience, that list should have at least shown a couple
of people outside the Peoples Democratic Party.
“There are people who are in the
military who are standing trial in this country who have volunteered some
amount of money back in the coffers of the government.
“There are others who are civil
servants, there are many others who were appointees in public office and there
are some who are in the All Progressives Congress (APC) who were also in the
PDP’s government, none of those appeared on the list.
“Your teaser cannot be largely
pointed in one direction. It must be taken very seriously and that is why I
said that government must get it right and approach corruption in a manner that
is very serious, so that all and sundry will understand that this government means
business and everyone will learn to understand that corruption is a monster and
once you are on its way, you are definitely going to be an enemy of the
government.”
