The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos
State has rubbished claim by President
Muhammadu Buhari that there is no evidence of
corruption against his appointees.
Lagos PDP, in a statement on Sunday by its
publicity secretary, Taofiq Gani, accused Buhari
of shielding his “corrupt” ministers because of
their financial contributions to his election.
Calling names of those who have serious
allegations, the statement noted that, “These
are in the public glare and we are surprised that
the president exhibits volte-face on these
matters.
“For instance, Fashola has many corruption
petitions against him during and after his tenure
as governor of Lagos State.
“Groups such as True Face of Lagos, CACOL
and individuals have their petitions unattended
to by the authorities,” he said.
“The reported outcome of enquiry, which
indicted Rotimi Amaechi, of unaccounted sum of
N3 trillion, when he was governor of Rivers
State, is lying unattended to by the authorities
and Chris Ngige’s self-confession, about his
practice at the Okija shrine, is still fresh.
“It is our further assertion that the financial
contributions of these particular ministers
account for why President Buhari continues to
harbour them.”
