The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has mocked the Presidency and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)
for shielding the party’s national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, from
investigation and prosecution over his alleged complicity in the bribery scandal
that trailled the APC primaries.
The PDP made mockery of the
current administration’s fight against corruption in a statement signed and
issued to journalists on Thursday by its national publicity secretary, Kola
Ologbondiyan, in Abuja
The opposition party further
charged the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and INTERPOL to help track down
Oshiomhole, who is reported to be away on a private overseas trip, and bring
him to face the law.
The statement reads: “The Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) charges the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and
INTERPOL to help track down the factional National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, believed to be on the run
outside the country since his reported interrogation by the Department of State
Services (DSS) over alleged corruption charges.
“The party notes that Adams
Oshiomhole’s swift flight out of the country, at the heat of the investigation,
is suspect and goes to confirm allegations that the Muhammadu Buhari Presidency
is shielding him from prosecution for fear that his investigation would
implicate certain interests at the Presidency and the APC.
“It is ludicrous that the APC, in
its lying proclivities, believes that by dismissing Oshiomhole’s arrest as a
rumour and aiding him to momentarily flee the country, it would succeed in
getting him off the DSS hook as well as sweeping the matter out of public
discourse with its famished broom.
“No! Nigerians are already aware
that Oshiomhole has not denied his investigation including his reported
confession that the Presidency was in the loop of all his actions.
“The PDP had always cautioned
Adams Oshiomhole of his unbridled arrogance, lust for power and alleged
embezzlement of public funds for which he must surely have his day in the hands
of the law.
“The PDP, therefore, demands that
APC and the Buhari Presidency must immediately produce Adams Oshiomhole to face
investigation and prosecution in our courts.”
