Investment Programme and the N16bn Mosquito Net Project of the Buhari
administration, has further vindicated its stance that the
administration is deceitful and a pretentious citadel of corruption.
A statement signed by Kola Ologbondiyan says “The party says Aisha
Buhari’s revelation has further shown that the PDP has not been crying
wolf by insisting that President Muhammadu Buhari must account for the
trillions of naira stolen under his watch in the last four years.
“More disheartening is the fact that the said funds were meant for the
welfare of the poor, whom Mr President had always claimed to represent
in government.
“Unfortunately, these poor Nigerians have been waiting endlessly for
the failed social investments promised by President Buhari only to
have their hopes dashed as revelations by Mrs Buhari had shown that
the money provided for the programme had been stolen.
“The PDP holds that now that the truth has been revealed by no lesser
Nigerian than Mr President’s wife, the National Assembly, and all
anti-corruption agencies should immediately commence forensic
investigation how these funds were dispensed and utilized.
“Nigerians can now see how the same administration president over by
‘Mr. Integrity’ has been using the names of innocent poor Nigerians to
loot our national treasury and fritter away billions of naira to
finance their wasteful lifestyle while Nigerians wallow in abject
poverty.
“It is indeed appalling that the Buhari administration would be
sitting on such colossal corruption and continues to thrive in evil
concealment while diverting public attention from their rot by
hounding innocent opposition figures on trump-up corruption charges.
“The PDP had always maintained that no matter how much deceit and
falsehood appear to thrive, the truth must prevail at the end of the
day.
“Our party, therefore, charges President Buhari to speak out on the
matter and immediately commence the process of recovering the money
and channeling it for the benefit of the poor Nigerians.”
