The former lawmaker added that Buhari’s government is lying about his relentless fight against corruption in the country.

“The government of Buhari was established by looted funds and over 80 per cent are from the PDP; his so called fight against corruption is a ruse,” he said.

He revealed that he is back to PDP “where 80 per cent of current APC members are from”, adding that,”the 80 per cent “are the same people who destroyed Nigeria in the last 18 years and they are now in APC”.

He stated that the APC-led government lacks principle and vision and came to power without any concrete plan for Nigeria.
