The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has commended the resignation of Kemi Adeosun from office as Minister of
Finance.
The party also raised the alarm
of plots by the Federal Government to secretly move Adeosun out of the country
following her resignation.
The statement reads in part, “The
party invites Nigerians to note that President Muhammadu Buhari, whose
administration has become notorious for shielding its many fraudulent and
corrupt officials, could not summon the rectitude to sack Mrs. Adeosun, adding
that she would have still been in office, if not for the sustained uproar by
Nigerians and international creditors.
“Our investigations reveal that
the Federal Government, which earlier made efforts to defend Mrs. Adeosun, has
already perfected a plot to help her to evade prosecution following fears that
she could open up on the humongous corruption going on in the financial sector
under the Buhari administration.
“The PDP is also aware of plots
by the Federal Government to secretly move her out of the country, and for
that, we urge the international community to be at alert and ensure she is
repatriated to face justice in Nigeria should the Federal Government succeeds
in its devious plan.
“Furthermore, we are also aware
that President Buhari was not by any measure prepared to drop her from his
cabinet but for the demand by those responsible for her appointment, who
protested her continued stay in office, although for their own selfish gains. A
case of corruption fighting back!
“The PDP therefore demands an
immediate open inquest into the records of the Finance Ministry under Mrs.
Adeosun, to unravel all improprieties by the Buhari Presidency cabal, including
alleged diversion of oil proceeds, fraudulent oil subsidy deals, leading to
high fuel price; depletion of our foreign reserves, embezzling of funds retuned
by Switzerland and other huge sleazes in the ministry.
“The party also insists that
President Buhari must be held responsible for all infractions in the finance
ministry under Adeosun, as he appointed and retained her despite having
information on the certificate forgery; a situation that confirms the decadence
and lack of due diligence in the Buhari Presidency.
“Nigerians already know that the
Buhari Presidency is a citadel of iniquity with inherent proficiency in
stealing, forgery and manipulation of processes. This perhaps explains why
President Buhari has not relieved his Special Assistant on Prosecution and
Chairman of the Special Investigative Panel for the Recovery of Public
Property, Chief Okoi Obono-Obla of his appointment in spite of the West African
Examination Council (WAEC) confirmation that he forged his Secondary School
Certificate.
“Is it not clear to all that the
Buhari administration’s so-called anti-corruption war and purported integrity
are mere orchestrations to hoodwink Nigerians and the international community,
while Mr. President oversees the most corrupt administration in the history of
our nation?

Buhari and his APC administration should have her arrested without being egged on if credibility has a meaning to them.
