The Federal Government has
revealed what will happen to looters who joined the ruling All Progressives
Congress, APC, from other political parties.
Speaking through the Minister of
Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the government pointed out that
not all the members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who joined the APC
were looters.
The Minister said this when he
was asked during an interview with Daily Sun if the government will release
list of looters in APC. He said all looters whether in APC or any other party
will be investigated and punished accordingly.
Mohammed also said some members
of the opposition party challenged them to release the list of looters in the
PDP, adding that the move has not in any way affected cases in court.
Mohammed said, “There is a
difference between allegations and established cases. All the cases I have
mentioned (alleged PDP looters) are already in court.
“You see, how many times have
people written that Lai Mohammed has billions of dollars. But these are
allegations that are just ridiculous.
“I can assure you that if there
is any allegation against any member of this government, this government will
investigate it.
“It would be unfair to say that
everybody that joined APC from PDP is a looter, it would be unfair.
“I am saying that whether you are
of ACN stock or PDP stock or CPC stock and you are found to be corrupt, you
will be investigated.
“They have said name the looters
and we said these people took money.
“I am saying that on the 24th of
February, Secondus took N100 million in cash. The then National Financial
Secretary took N700 million.
“These are facts! They said name,
and I said these are the people that were reported to have stolen money. So,
what is prejudicial about it?
“Let them go and solve their
matters in court, but if you challenge us to name names, we will name names!”
