The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has issued a strong warning to the Chairman of Presidential Advisory
Committee on Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay, to stop blaming leaders of 8th
National Assembly for failures encountered in last administration.
The party in a statement on
Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, told Sagay to
leave Saraki alone and rather summon courage to tell President Buhari that
corruption resides in the Presidential Villa, adding that many alleged
corruption issues, which fall directly on the shoulders of the Buhari
Presidency were yet to be addressed.
The PDP asked Prof. Sagay to
clear his conscience by using his position to ask President Buhari to answer
Nigerians on the “alleged siphoning of N9 trillion oil money through shady
contracts, under his watch, as detailed in the leaked NNPC memo.”
The statement read in part: “The
Party asked Prof. Sagay to leave the former President of the Senate, Senator
Bukola Saraki and then House of Representatives Speaker, Hon Yakubu Dogara,
alone and accept “the fact that the Buhari Presidency cannot fight corruption because
it swims in ocean of corruption.
“The party further advised that
Prof. Sagay could take a face-saving measure by demanding an investigation into
the alleged corruption in the handling of the alleged N1.4 trillion oil subsidy
involving the cabal in the Presidency and certain All Progressives Congress
(APC) leaders, in addition to the reported stealing of over N1.1 trillion worth
of crude under Mr. President’s watch.
“It is strange to many Nigerians
that Prof. Sagay, as the Chairman of the anti-corruption committee, could not
summon the boldness to ask President Buhari to order an investigation into
allegations by the First Lady, Aisha Buhari, that the N500bn meant for Social
Investment Program was diverted to private purses.
“Prof. Sagay and President Buhari
had been mute over the recent arrest of President Buhari’s confidant, Nasir
Banu in the United Kingdom for alleged passport scam and money laundering,
while allegedly ferrying stolen money to persons said to be close to the Buhari
Presidency.
“Prof. Sagay is yet to speak out
on the recent arrest of a scammer, Abdulrauf Illyasu, who operates from within
the Presidential Villa, and never said anything about the arrest of former aide
to the First Lady as well as one Amina Mohammed, who allegedly openly confessed
to fronting for persons close to the President for serial fraud, contract scams
and looting of public resources.
“Prof. Sagay should leave the
former President of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki and then House of
Representatives Speaker, Hon Yakubu Dogara, alone and accept “the fact that the
Buhari Presidency cannot fight corruption because it swims in ocean of
corruption.”
