An All Progressives Congress
(APC) chieftain has said Nigerians should exercise patience with President
Muhammad Buhari as the administration will soon include the names of former
secretary to the federal government, Babachir David Lawal and the indicted
Director General of National Intelligence Agency, Mr. Ayo Oke on the list of
treasury looters.
Ali Saidu, an associate of
Buhari, revealed this in Bauchi during an interview. He said, FG has not
deliberately overlooked some of the APC supporters and members found guilty of
financial crime under Buhari administration, but was only taking its time to
include their names.
”I think the exercise is
reflecting on those who looted the treasury initially, not that APC supporters
were spared by Buhari administration. You should know that it has to start from
where it started before reaching the current APC administration, so Nigerians should
wait and give Buhari benefit of the doubt,” said Saidu.
It could be recalled that the FG
under Buhari had recently released the names of opposition parties who
allegedly looted the nation’s treasury.
The APC chieftain added that the
party will not be distracted in its renewed commitment to fight corruption and
its determination to correct the ills of the past.
According to Saidu, President
Buhari’s decision to release looters’ list was not meant to witch hunt the
opposition, neither was it meant to facilitate his 2019 second term
presidential ambition, but to attract economic development in Nigeria.
He assured that the FG was not
leaving any stone outruned in its determination to include APC supporters in
the looters lists especially those found guilty of looting nation treasury in
the fight against corruption crusade of Buhari.
