The acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus has reportedly said that some members of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government are guilty of stealing public funds.
Secondus said further that some of the 55 Nigerians who, according to the government, stole N1.34 trillion are part of Buhari’s cabinet, Vanguard reports.
“This involves both APC and PDP. Those involved are still in the government of Muhammadu Buhari, serving as ministers, some holding ranking positions even in security agencies,” he said according to Vanguard.
“He should bring them to book; we are not against his fight against corruption, but it should be holistic and there must be Rule of Law.
“Look at the handcuffs on PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh. It is wicked and vindictive. Nigerians should see what is happening in a democracy because Metuh is the spokesperson of opposition party. Now, no one can speak freely.
“We are operating under threat and a Police state; our families now live under threat and they are being asked questions at the airport,” he added.
PDP spokesperson, Olisa Metuh was taken to court the Abuja Federal High Court in handcuffs to face charges of money laundering after allegedly accepting N400 million from former National Security Adviser(NSA), Sambo Dasuki who is also being tried for corruption.
He has been granted bail to the tune of N400 million and is currently being remanded at the Kuje Prisons.
