This includes<br \/>\nthe N2.66 trillion borrowed in 2018, ahead of the 2019 general<br \/>\nelections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These and many more are funds meant for infrastructural development<br \/>\nand welfare of Nigerians but have been cornered by APC leaders.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That the Buhari Presidency lacks the competence and integrity to run<br \/>\na creative, transparent and credible administration that can guarantee<br \/>\neconomic growth, wealth creation, and a dependable system has become a<br \/>\nglobally accepted fact.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The negative effect is the further dipping of our economy, an<br \/>\ninvestor\u2019s confidence, which shored up at the expressed resolve by<br \/>\nNigerians to elect\u00a0 Atiku Abubakar as their next President,\u00a0 slumped<br \/>\nwith the rigging of the Presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The PDP, however, urges Nigerians not to despair but continue to be<br \/>\nsteadfast in the aspiration for the recovery of the stolen<br \/>\nPresidential mandate at the tribunal, as this is the only way to<br \/>\nreturn our nation to the path of peace, national unity, and a vibrant<br \/>\neconomy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"m3396721235571324787\" class=\"mail-message expanded\"><\/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>\u2026Challenges Buhari To Speak Out On Treasury Looting, Unwholesome Borrowing The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) are desperate to&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":63018,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-66382","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 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>APC, Buhari Desperate to Retain Power To Conceal Corruption - PDP - Pointblank News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/apc-buhari-desperate-to-retain-power-to-conceal-corruption-pdp\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"APC, Buhari Desperate to Retain Power To Conceal Corruption - PDP - Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u2026Challenges Buhari To Speak Out On Treasury Looting, Unwholesome Borrowing The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) are desperate to&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/apc-buhari-desperate-to-retain-power-to-conceal-corruption-pdp\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-04-29T05:08:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Kola-Ologbondiyan.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"580\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"359\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/apc-buhari-desperate-to-retain-power-to-conceal-corruption-pdp\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/apc-buhari-desperate-to-retain-power-to-conceal-corruption-pdp\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Our Reporter\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/#\/schema\/person\/ba61acbe7e8967bcf3f3ba603d9db23c\"},\"headline\":\"APC, Buhari Desperate to Retain Power To Conceal Corruption &#8211;
