Anything short<br \/>\nof that is mere deceit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dEven with the paucity of funds, this Administration has spent an<br \/>\nunprecedented amount of money on infrastructural development and Social<br \/>\nInvestment Programme, among others. Returning looted funds will provide<br \/>\nmore money for these programmes and make life more meaningful for<br \/>\nNigerians. There is no better apology than that,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>Alhaji Mohammed also reminded the PDP of the quote: \u201dIf you find yourself<br \/>\nin a hole, stop digging,\u201d saying it applies to the PDP at this time. \u201dPDP,<br \/>\npress the reset button. Stop sabotaging the work of this Administration,<br \/>\nwhich is packing the mess you left behind, through your reckless<br \/>\nstatements and unfounded allegations. Play responsible opposition<br \/>\npolitics. Put Nigeria\u2019s interest over and above partisan interest. Temper<br \/>\nyour desperation to return to power. Spend quality time in the purgatory<br \/>\nand you will be forgiven,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hi\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ajx\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gA gt acV\">\n<div class=\"gB xu\">\n<div class=\"ip iq\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"h7  \" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"listitem\">\n<div class=\"Bk\">\n<div class=\"G3 G2\">\n<div id=\":m9\">\n<div class=\"adn ads\" data-message-id=\"1626a123ea516671\" data-legacy-message-id=\"1626a123ea516671\">\n<div class=\"aju\">\n<div class=\"aCi\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gs\">\n<div class=\"gE iv gt\"><\/div>\n<div id=\":ma\">\n<div class=\"qQVYZb\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"utdU2e\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"btm\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"aHl\"><\/div>\n<div id=\":mn\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<div id=\":mc\" class=\"ii gt \">\n<div id=\":mb\" class=\"a3s aXjCH m1626a123ea516671\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Government has asked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to go the whole hog with its apology to Nigerians by returning all the funds looted from the public treasury&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":51639,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
