The Presidency has accused the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of spreading lies about the Buhari led All
Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
It said this in response to
allegation that the President Muhammadu Buhari and his appointees were looting.
Presidential spokesman, Garba
Shehu, said the PDP was in the mistaken assumption that its toga of corruption
will dissipate if it succeeded in black painting every other person as corrupt.
A statement he signed on
Wednesday, noted that the strategy was to make corruption appear as normative
and that everyone is equally involved.
“They think by so doing,
Nigerians will forgive them for their sins. This is a huge mistake,” he said.
“The PDP has become an ill-wind
on the country today and the elections next year present the citizens an
excellent opportunity to save the country from it.
“We can’t imagine a sane
organisation shamelessly telling Nigerians that President Buhari is looting, as
they themselves did of the recovered loot, the USD 322m lately recovered from
the Abacha family. This is an irresponsible lie.
“The USD 322m recovered is being
used to make the Conditional Cash Transfer, CCT of a monthly amount of N5,000
to more than 300,000 poor homes across the nation under the Social Investment
Program introduced by the Buhari administration.
“This is in line with the
Memorandum of Understanding, signed between the governments of Nigeria and
Switzerland as a condition for releasing the funds.
“As part of the MoU, the World
Bank is monitoring the application of the funds. It is also important that the
World Bank has equally given an additional facility to support the on-going
cash transfers.
“Nigerians are hereby advised to
be watchful of what comes out from the opposition, not to be misled into voting
for a party that sees nothing wrong with corruption and would rather have
everyone drenched in its colors, as they irretrievably are.”
