The All Progressives Congress has asked
senators of the opposition Peoples
Democratic Party to face their legislative
business and come to terms with the
reality that they cannot determine how
the Buhari administration fights
corruption.

The APC, via a statement signed by its
National Secretary, Mala Buni on
Wednesday, said this in response to the
PDP Senators’ declaration of suspension
of support for President Muhammadu
Buhari’s government.

The PDP senate caucus, earlier on
Wednesday, said its position followed
“belligerent attitude” of the APC
government towards the opposition
members, alleging bias in Mr. Buhari’s
anti-corruption campaign.

But APC said PDP lawmakers should
rather face their lawmaking business in
the interest of the nation.

“The attention of the National Secretariat
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has
been drawn to a statement credited to the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senate
Caucus stating that the Caucus has
withdrawn its support for the
government of President Muhammadu
Buhari over the administration’s hugely
successful war against corruption,” the
statement said.

“The PDP Caucus must be reminded of
their primary responsibility of lawmaking
and representation of their constituents at
the National Assembly. The APC advises
the PDP Senate Caucus not to allow
political shenanigans to becloud overall
national interest.

“For the umpteenth time, the PDP and
their agents do not have the luxury of
dictating how the current administration
and anti-corruption agencies carries out
its legitimate duty of investigating and
prosecuting cases of corruption, as long
as it conforms to the rule of law.”

On allegations of selective prosecution of
the anti-corruption war, the APC asked
the PDP to approach anti-graft agencies
with petitions against anybody suspected
to have indulged in corrupt practices.

“The PDP Caucus allegations of a selective
anti-corruption fight and “belligerent”
stance of the current administration is
hogwash and baseless,” Mr. Buni said. “If
the PDP and its agents have proof of
corruption against anybody, the APC
advises that they approach anti-graft
agencies constitutionally mandated to
handle such cases instead of declaring
innocence on newspaper pages and other
media outlets.”

Further, the ruling party urged anti-
corruption agencies “not to be stampeded
and blackmailed by this new plot and
continue to employ all legitimate avenues
in investigating and prosecuting ongoing
corruption cases.”

The statement added that, “The generality
of Nigerians clamour for all looters of
public funds to be brought to book. The
APC assures Nigerians that the political
will and sincerity of purpose of the
current administration to tackle
corruption remains resolute.”

PDP and their wailers una see una life

Who PDP help?

This is arrogant ignorance...

What they don't know is dat it's not only PDP senators dat are involved. In dis matter of trying to change d leadership d senate through d back door, many APC senators will queue behind their PDP counterparts in supporting Saraki & Ekweremadu. If APC pushes dis matter too far, it may consume d party, and/or Buhari. By d time they realize what is happening only Remi Tinubu will be left on d side of APC. They shld thread carefully...

How many petitions did EFCC receive b4 going after PDP members? meanwhile, it is common knowledge dat several petitions have been written against d likes of Amaechi and nothing has been done.

It's obvious even to d blind dat d anti corruption war is lopsided and insincere

What?
