APC Speaks On Magu’s Probe

The All Progressives Congress (APC) the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari will not tolerate corrupt practices in any form by those in government.

The party said no one in the current dispensation is above the law.

The ruling party was reacting to comments by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on an alleged attempt to disassociate some people in government from the indictment of Ibrahim Magu, suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The opposition party had said the enormous looting in Buhari’s government led to the economic downturn and “collapse of infrastructure in all sectors.”

Magu is accused of not being transparent in the dealings and running of the anti-graft agency.

But in a statement on Sunday, Yekini Nabena, APC deputy spokesman, said it is on record that the PDP is “founder of corruption in Nigeria.”

Nabena said the probe of Magu should send “a signal to all those who think and have blackmailed the government’s anti-corruption battle”.

“The APC wishes to assure all Nigerians that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari will not condone any form of corrupt practice even as the administration is committed to fighting corruption as promised,” he said.

“The former ruling party PDP does not have what it takes to lament about its alleged corruption practices in the present administration of APC.

“In APC’s government, nobody is above the law.

“The presidency has assured that there is no hiding place for any corrupt government official in this administration being led by an incorruptible personality, in person of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“So, Nigerians should ignore the fake lamentations of an unrepentant corrupt PDP.”
