President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed not to be deterred by PDP’s baseless criticisms in his determination to eradicate rampant and chronic corruption.
This comes as a response to the Peoples Democratic Party’s call for swift action against acting EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the volume and reach of the anti-corruption crusade so far reflect what the PDP left behind.
Shehu said corruption became so normalized by the PDP that they had difficulty defining what is “corruption” and “theft”.
The presidential spokesman praised President Buhari’s determination to end corruption in the country as responsible for the number of highly publicized charges and cases.
“The large number of cases, new and old, may appear to be daunting but PDP, which is now heckling the President, has forgotten that the party bequeathed this to the current administration. They had a large number of cases they did not investigate and prosecute,” he said.
Shehu also cautioned the PDP to allow the process of investigation and prosecution to work instead of being preemptive about ongoing cases and unduly agitating the public.
He expressed hope that the Judiciary would deal with the cases swiftly and satisfactorily, in a manner that would deter other would-be offenders.
“The current administration is handling many of the cases that the PDP should have dealt with and the new ones as they arise,” he said. [Newzandar News]
