The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenges Vice President Yemi
\nOsinbajo to stop bandying figures and name the three persons he claimed
\nstole the sum of $3bn under the administration of former President
\nGoodluck Jonathan.<\/p>\n
In a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Mr. Kola
\nOlogbondinyan, the opposition party said the Vice president has been using
\nhis exalted office to make unsubstantiated allegations against members of
\nthe Party.<\/p>\n
According to the PDP “Vice President Osinbajo is a professor of law and
\nought to know that patriotism demands that he should not make
\nunsubstantiated claims but to place the names of such Nigerians in public.<\/p>\n
“The PDP also expects Prof Osinbajo to take such names to the Economic
\nand Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), if truly such Nigerians exist.<\/p>\n
“The PDP holds that it is particularly improper for the occupant of the
\nexalted office of the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
\nto engage in smear campaign and making unsubstantiated statements just
\nfor political reasons.<\/p>\n
“That, our party believes, is descending to the public arena and the PDP,
\nonce again, cautions the Vice President to desist from making frivolous
\nstatements just to curry political support.<\/p>\n
“We therefore urge Vice President Osinbajo not to join President
\nMuhammadu Buhari in de-marketing our dear nation in a bid to score cheap
\npolitical points and divert public attention from their failure in
\ngovernance.<\/p>\n
“Indeed, we had expected the Vice President to show leadership by naming
\nthose he claimed stole $3bn and making moves to ensure that the amount
\nis recovered, instead of bandying figures in public events.<\/p>\n
“Finally, Nigerians would want Prof. Osinbajo to address the issue of
\ncolossal corruption under the Buhari administration, particularly in the
\nNational Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), an agency under his purview
\nand which is currently being investigated on issues related to the
\nhandling of N18 billion emergency intervention fund.<\/p>\n
