Lai Mohammed, the minister of information and culture, says
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will loot the country’s treasury if the
party ever has access to power.
The minister made the remark in reaction to the controversy
over the return of N122.4 million by members of the PDP’s national working
committee (NWC).
Speaking on Thursday in an interview with NAN in Arusha,
Tanzania, the minister said the PDP has not yet learned its lessons.
“If a man can steal from himself, he will steal without any
restrain from other people,” he said.
“The problem is that
PDP will never change and like they say, a leopard will never change its spots.
“When PDP lost elections in 2015, they admitted that they
had learnt their lessons, but obviously, they have learnt nothing.
“God forbid, if they ever have access to public purse again,
they will leave no kobo there. We know what we met when we assumed office in
2015, we are still wailing from it.
“We hope Nigerians
have now seen from this scandal the intention of PDP if they ever have access
to public treasury.”
Mohammed said the party should be questioned on the source
of the funds shared, adding that as a member of the NWC of the APC, no money
was ever paid into his account.
“Never did I remember that any form of money, call it,
accommodation, or whatsoever, was ever paid into the account of any member of
the NWC of either ACN or APC,” he said.
The minister is in Arusha for the 65th meeting of the United
Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO)’s Commission for Africa.
