Junaid Mohammed, Second Republic
lawmaker, has described President Muhammad Buhari and the Minister of
Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed as “liars.”
He made the remark while faulting
the looters’ list released by the Federal Government.
Lai Mohammed
had released the controversial list of treasury looters at a press conference
in Lagos on Friday.
Reacting, Junaid Mohammed said
the list released by the Minister was an “anticlimax” after about three years
of talking about fighting corruption and looting of public funds.
Speaking with Punch, he said, “I
think Mohammed, his party and the President are guilty of the lies that they
have been telling Nigerians. If indeed all the noise that has been made
concerns only about five people, then something is wrong and I am certainly
disappointed.
“So you are telling me that for
the three years that you have been talking about corruption and promising to
release the names of looters, you have been talking about only five people.
“If indeed they only had evidence
that there are about five people who are responsible for our economic woes,
then that to me sounds like a monumental anti-climax.
“There are quite a number of
people who I believe are thieves and there is a substantial and overwhelming
evidence against them and I believe the money they stole is known to people in
the Presidency, the government and the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission.
“If they cannot recover the
money, then forget about Nigeria, it is finished. And I don’t believe Lai
Mohammed because he has lied so many times and if his own idea of politics is
to abuse his position and lie to the people, then we are in a very serious
trouble because the whole thing is cynical, untrue and you begin to wonder who is
to be believed because this government is not believable.”
