Anti-corru Ption War: You’re On Your Own, Pdp Tells Members by lekankolade(m): 9:01am On Aug 22, 2015
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may have ruled out legal option to defend aides of the former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, who are being hunted by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration for corruption. The party had raised the alarm that Buhari’s anti-corruption war is onesided and is being targeted against its members.
Among aides of past administration who had been quizzed since the May 29 handover were Jonathan’s former Chief Security Officer (CSO), Gordon Obuah, who spent some days at the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS); and former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki, who was placed under house arrest by operatives of DSS for two days.
Also figures were being bandied by some government officials, especially Edo State Governor, Adams Oshimhole, as being stolen under Jonathan’s watch. But the Acting National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, regretted that only stalwarts of the party were being investigated for corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). “So far, statistics show clearly that the EFCC has only arrested members of our party, but the All Progressives Congress (APC) former governors are left alone. A government so serious about anti-corruption crusade,cannot be one-sided.
It must be holistic. “Have they given former APC governors a clean bill of health? Is this aimed to ensure that PDP doesn’t exist as opposition party, that’s why they are clamping down on ex-governors and ministers? “We are ready to play our constitutional role.
It is time for the APC to give its best in governance and stop intimidation and harassment of opposition party members,” Secondus stated. A source at the PDP National Secretariat said the party is not considering raising legal team to defend members against Buhari’s anti-corruption war. “For what? This is an individual affair.
PDP cannot defend corruption. It is like defending armed robbery. Anybody accused of corruption should raise his or her own legal team but not the party,” he said. PDP National Legal Adviser, Victor Yusuf Kwon, in a telephone interview, refused to comment on the issue. “Our position is in the public domain; there have been newspaper publications on this, and that remains the position of the party,” he said. The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, who was outside the country, could not be reached at the time of filling this report
