PDP Hits Back After Buhari Said God Will Punish Party Leaders Over Looting. by IamReallyboy(m): 6:20am On Feb 09, 2019
President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday slammed the Peoples Democratic Party leaders for allegedly looting the treasury for 16 years, saying “only God can give them punishment”.

Buhari spoke at the State House, Abuja, when he received the leaders of 1,000 support groups.

He said, “Large scale abuse of trust, only God can give them punishment but those we can touch, we will get them prosecuted.

“We have said the properties confiscated should be sold and put the money into the treasury and we will use.”

The President repeated a story on how he met with the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (Mr Godwin Emefiele) on assumption of office in 2015 and he was informed that there was no money left in the treasury.

Buhari said, “I have said this for the umpteenth time and I have challenged them to prove me wrong, but in the 16 years the PDP ruled, Nigeria was getting 2.1 million times 100 (2.1 million barrels by $100 per barrel) every day, every week, but when we came on board, the price fell to between $37-$38 and hung around $40-$50.

“I went to the CBN Governor and asked him for money, and he said there was no money.”

Dr Mahmud Mohammed, who led the groups, told the President that they were attracted to him because of his integrity.

Mohammed added, “From tomorrow we will not sleep. We will start house-to-house, shop-to-shop and market-to-market campaign to ensure your victory.”

However, the PDP said the President should not be taken seriously.

The party said the treasury looters Buhari was referring to now belonged to the ruling party.

National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, who spoke with one of our correspondents, reminded the President of the claim by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, that “once you join the APC, your sins are forgiven”. Secondus said, “I have watched the campaign of the President. Who are those leading it? You see, we should know that this President talks without substance.

“He is busy eating and dining with those he had once accused of corruption, yet he continues to sermonise as if he is leading a corruption-free government or party.

“We know all his cronies and those in his cabinet that have been accused of corruption, yet he is giving them cover. The President seems not to know that Nigerians know the reports of many panels that he is sitting on.

“He does not also know that corruption comes in different forms. A President that concentrates appointments to key positions on a section of the country is as guilty of corruption as the man that steals money. This is because he is spreading poverty in some other zones why he is giving what belongs to all to a clique.

“In any case, Nigerians are tired of a weeping parochial President, who will only be seen briefly in election period.

“Nigerians want a President that will interact with them and treat them equally; after all that is what the constitution says.”

Saint Buhari, so you went to meet the CBN governor for money without due processes as if it's your private account......abi?

This man is the worst and most corrupt President to ever rule this country.

The number of votes Buhari and his occultic coven Apc recieves next weekend will determine how many idiotic fools we still have in this country.

Let's rise and send this lifeless bloodletting nepotistic wicked and tyrannical uneducated old man back to Daura with our PVC next weekend.

Atiku has lost the election going by any reasonable analysis, all the noise he and his boys are making are to make the victory of Buhari look fraudulent and doubtful. But it is what it is: NOISE

Nicely done Sir,
You intelligently deflected the issue at hand that PDP looted the treasury dry, by pointing at the sins of Buhari. This does not absolve you of sending this country into recession because of your looting orgies.

this Buhari doesn't have conscience.
how can someone be repeating lies every now and then without giving qualms.
how can Buhari say that crude oil was 100 dollars and crude oil production was 2.1 million EVERY DAY for 16 years and that he meant an empty treasury.the bail out funds he was dishing out were from where.the over 40 billion him and his cronies looted within his first few weeks in office in the guise of searching for oil in the north is from where.
how can somebody who claims to have integrity be lying like this.smh

Please do a little search on goggle for price of oil from 1999 to 2014 PDP held sway. I do not blame Buhari for claiming oil sold for $100 per barrel because he must defend his dullardinh.o title.

Buhari's Achievements Atikulates Always Avoid


1. Spending over $5bn- 1.8Trillion naira on oil search in the north: $5b is about 22% of Nigeria's budget. Buhari said he would spend $20b on this same oil search in northern Nigeria. I wonder why Buharit's are not campaigning with this, showing us this achievement, the oil rigs. This is a monumental corruption avenue for APC as the expenditure is shrouded in secrecy, covered by uncle Baru, the NNPC GMD.


2. The absolute victory over corruption in the police, army, custom, civil service, education and the private sector: Buhari has only fought corruption of the previous PDP regime, and those who do not belong to his ethno-religious clan. He made the legislative and judicial arm look evil, while he pampers his corrupt allies.

3. Absolute nepotism of Buhari: when it is time to solicit for votes, he needs it from all regions of Nigeria, but it comes to appointments, the northerners are the best.

4. 20 trillion naira stamp duty deduction: A report form Vanguard newspapers says the 50 naira stamp duty charge deducted since 2016 from deposits made in banks have accumulated to 20 trillion naira and have not been accounted for.
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/12/tsa-and-the-n20trn-unremitted-stamp-duty-question/

5. Subsidy payment on petrol: no budget is made on fuel subsidy, yet payment is made for it. Under-recovery is the term used to veil the whole scrap.

I dont need to ask Google what is going on in my own house, rather Google should be asking me what's going on in my own house.

So are you saying at a point in the PDP administration oil never sold for over a $100 per barrel?

Oil sold at $100 per barrel at 'a ponit'. Oil also sold at below $30 per barrel within the same period PDP held sway.

And when it went down to $30 during that time in the PDP regime how much was in our reserves?
