Senate President Bukola Saraki
says Nigerians are eagerly waiting to see how President Muhammadu Buhari will
handle allegations against Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
He said this while responding to
the threat of the APC chairman to sue him.
Saraki had said the APC chairman
did not have the moral stand to remain in politics following allegations by
some governors that he collected bribes during the party’s primary elections.
But Oshiomhole asked Saraki to
name aspirants he collected money from or face a law suit.
In a statement on Thursday,
Yusuph Olaniyonu, special adviser to Saraki on media, quoted the senate
president as saying he is ready to meet Oshiomhole in court.
“Nigerians are waiting to see how
the president will handle the serious allegations against his party chairman,”
he said.
“We expect the president with his
anti-corruption campaign to institute thorough and transparent investigation
into the allegations against his party chairman.
“The failure of the president to
get to the root of the matter will finally destroy his ability and that of the
party to continue to talk of any anti-graft battle. The president should let
the investigation be thorough, open and transparent. This is no time for any
cover-up.”
Saraki said until the outcome of
a thorough investigation is known to Nigerians and the APC chairman is cleared
of the allegations against him, he is not on a firm ground to talk about
morality or fight against corruption.
Oshiomhole was quizzed by the
Department of State Services (DSS) over the allegations.
