Press Statement
PDP Exposes
Corruption Under APC Government…Says President Must First Purge Party And
Government
The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) says despite the “holier than thou” posture of the present APC
government, there is incontrovertible evidence that grave corrupt practices are
ongoing and allowed to fester by associates and cronies of government,
including former and present APC governors and
others who played major roles in financing his campaigns with stolen state
funds.
The party said this has created
a system that is neck deep in corruption, while the government hoodwinks
unsuspecting public with propaganda.
PDP National Publicity
Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on Thursday, said while the party
is not averse to the fight against corruption, “the onus lies on the APC-led
Federal Government to wage a credible holistic anti-corruption war by first
purging itself of unclean association and coming out clear on sleazes already
going on in government quarters since it took office in May.”
“Whereas the PDP restates its
respect for the person and office of the President as well as our support for
the war against corruption, it is incumbent on us to alert Nigerians of the
prevailing circumstances around this government that are capable of
fundamentally undermining good governance if left unchecked.
“Charity, they say begins at
home. For the APC-led Government, it has now become a question of “physician,
heal thyself”. Every discerning mind knows that this administration is not
executing a credible holistic war against corruption because it is a product of
corruption, surrounded by corrupt persons; a factor apparently responsible for
its obvious blind eyes to huge sleazes now being perpetrated in government
agencies by persons claiming closeness to the President.
