President has handed over his re-election campaign to looters – PDP

…Asks President to hand over Campaign Council members list to EFCC The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PPCO) said that President Muhammadu Buhari has handed his re-election campaign over to a set of politicians that have looted the nation’s treasury. The PPCO challenged the President to display his highly-touted integrity by handing over the list of his campaign council members to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for investigation. The PDP absolved members of its Presidential Campaign Council from corruption charges while insisting that the Buhari Presidential Campaign Council list is a catalog of ‘who is who’ in corruption. This was contained in a statement issued on Monday by PPCO’s Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan. The PPCO noted that the fact that President Buhari selected, inaugurated and sits as the Chairman of the council, with persons with corruption cases, shows that he approves and perhaps have hugely benefited from the corrupt practices for which they were indicted. “There are already allegations that such individuals are being spared because part of their loots have been diverted to fund President Buhari’s re-election bid. “This development justifies the opinion held by most Nigerians that President Buhari is not fighting corruption and that his much-hyped anti-corruption crusade is just an oppressive scheme against the opposition”, he said. The PDP campaign council further alleged that President Buhari himself has huge corruption allegations hanging directly on his neck, particularly the over N11 trillion stolen from the Petroleum sector as well as the 9mobile and Keystone bank saga, the APC factional National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, is also facing corruption allegations. The party urged the EFCC to get a copy of the list and commence investigation, particularly as some of the individuals who currently enjoy one immunity or the other under President Buhari’s cover will lose such immunity, come May 29, 2019.
