The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticised the
decision of the All Progressive Congress’s (APC) to appoint Abdullahi Ganduje
as its National Chairman, despite lingering corruption and bribery allegations
against him.
Debo Ologunagba, the National Publicity Secretary of the
PDP, made a statement on Thursday, characterising the APC as a cesspool of
corruption and a haven for individuals engaged in embezzlement, bribery and
treasury looting.
Referring to Ganduje, who is known as “Gandola” by Nigerians
due to an infamous video showing him allegedly accepting US Dollar notes as
bribes from a contractor while serving as the Governor of Kano State, the PDP
expressed concern over the appointment.
The party believes that this move further validates its
stance that the APC is filled with embezzlers and charlatans.
“The PDP invites Nigerians to note that only last month, a
forensic analysis by the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption
Commission (PCACC) confirmed that the content of the 2017 “Gandollar” viral
video was not doctored,” the statement further added
The PDP also questioned the leadership of Senator Bola Ahmed
Tinubu within the APC, given the appointment of Ganduje.
According to the statement, it speaks volumes about the APC
under Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu that Ganduje, who should ordinarily be under
prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged
bribery, is rather crowned and rewarded with the position of the APC National
Chairman.
“Such can only happen in a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)
like the APC, which, according to the former Director General of the
Progressive Governors’ Forum, is replete with “political bandits,” the
statement said.
