Buhari Not Targeting Opposition With Corruption Fight – APC

It Is Not True That The President Is Targeting The Opposition

The ruling All Progressives Congress, has said no member of the party, even people under President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet will be excused from the fight against corruption.

Yekini Nabena, the acting National Publicity Secretary of APC, in a statement on Sunday, called on Nigerians to petition the anti-graft agencies against any one found corrupt.

Naija News had earlier reported that on arrival from his break in London, President Buhari disclosed his resolve to continue the fight against corruption in the country.

Following the President’s statement, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and some others had demanded that Buhari starts the probe and jailing with the ruling party’s National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, David Babachir Lawal and others.

In reaction, the APC stated, “It is not true that Mr. President is targeting opposition by that statement.

“We are all in this country to know that a serving APC Senator is currently facing trial over corruption.

“When he said he is going to jail more people, he was not targeting only the opposition.

“The law will always take its course and it does not matter where he starts. If Nigerians want Mr President to prosecute Oshiomhole or anyone close to the President, they should do the needful.

“If anyone can establish any case against them, let the law takes its course.

“Nobody is shielding anybody and we challenge the judiciary to live up to the expectations of Nigerians in handling corruption cases.“
