Buhari’s $300,000 Saga:
We Have Been Vindicated- PDP….Insists On Truth Commission
The Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) says the denial by President Muhammadu Buhari on the
alleged benefiting from funds relating to the arms deal scandal, and the
consequent controversy trailing it underscores the need for a more neutral and
transparent body like an
independent National Truth Commission to examine all issues relating to
handling of security votes and campaign funding without interferences from the
government.
The PDP in a
statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh on Wednesday
said the leak that President Buhari benefited from the office of the former
National Security Adviser against the convention of dealing with the office of
the SGF also stresses the fact that the war against corruption should be
holistic, transparent and not politicized.
“We
challenge this administration to a no-holds-barred public inquisition on all
issues of security votes and campaign expenses. This is more so as we have
evidence that President Buhari and the APC budgeted and spent billons of naira
corruptly sourced for their Presidential campaign, in addition to on-going
sleazes in the system under the APC government.
