The Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has told President Muhammadu Buhari to probe all past governments since 1999.

The PDP, in a statement by its Director of Publicity in the state, Mr. Ayo Fadaka, on Thursday, alleged that President Buhari was selective in his plans to recover looted funds and prosecute corrupt public officials under President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration alone.

The party, said though it supports efforts to rid the country of corruption, Buhari’s selective approach was ridiculous.

The party wondered why anti-corruption agencies were yet to go after loyalists of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

According to PDP “It is important to stress that we will not allow him to make selective prosecution of corrupt persons as the battle against corruption must be total.

“We have taken due cognizance of the fact that since President Buhari assumed office on May 29, Nigerians are daily getting accustomed to declarations about corruption and how Mr. President’s administration is gearing up to take decisive actions on such development.

“It is getting alarming that the only agenda that Buhari seems to have is to ridicule the tenure of his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, through the numerous declarations that seem to suggest that every action of that regime was corrupt, and obviously this is not true.

“Therefore, our intention is to awaken Buhari to the fact that there remains many assignments of the nation begging for attention and sadly enough, he does not seem to recognise this fact as his attitude continues to suggest that corruption remains the only problem that Nigeria faces.”

The PDP said Buhari’s latest accusation that former ministers who served during the Jonathan government sold one million barrels of oil per day was not only sensational but a mere gimmick to divert the attention of Nigerians.

The party said since Buhari became President, he has failed to address the issue of fuel scarcity, and the sale of fuel above the approved pump price, while insurgency had assumed a more serious dimension.

The party said, “We also wish to remind Buhari that the issue of stealing petroleum is not a new development in our nation, it is a crime that dates back to many decades. So we query what he stand to gain by seeking to attach this crime to the Jonathan administration alone.

K

will be right back

my question to PDP is " What is stealing? does it mean corruption today? "
if you have any document on previous administrations what stops you from prosecuting them?
also all previous corruption cases were buried in their administration so where are the dossiers?
my last question is for legal professionals do you know that there is limit to timeframe for prosecution of juditial arraignment? I read in the constitution of Nigeria it is 10 years after crime how did you want that to be circumvented by the New administration?

Ridiculous and biased

Yes! He should probe Miminko too

What is ridiculous is a party tacitly defending corruption.
PMB would not chain d accused and put them in jail,there would be investigation and prosecution in a court of law,where d accused can defend themselves, so what d hell are these locusts that ruined this nation talking about?
GEJ and his ministers would have to defend themselves against mounting evidence of insane rap e of Nigeria's resources.
They should even thank God that Nigeria doesn't have the China model, if not right from GEJ to his last minister and aides would have been in prison now praying to avoid the hangman's noose.

Lol...APC e-wailer. Read before you wail

they are not defending corruption, they are against selective probing. What is good for Jonathan is also good for OBJ, Atiku, Tinubu, Amaechi and even IBB.
