THE Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers State has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of being selective and insincere in his fight against corruption.
The state PDP said in a statement that its allegation was based on the President’s inaction over the looting of public facilities and siphoning of state funds by the administration of former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi.
It said that Buhari had continued to shield the former governor, citing Amaechi’s inclusion in the Presidential team to the United States of America as evidence of presidential cover.
The statement read, “Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party frowns at the manner President Buhari appears to be carrying on his anti-corruption activities, describing such action as selective, insincere and ill-conceived.
“The PDP says its position is based on the fact that in spite of the obvious cases of looting of public facilities, siphoning of Rivers State funds, fraudulent sales of state-owned establishments and monumental financial frauds committed by Rotimi Amaechi and his administration in Rivers State and for which a Judicial Commission of Inquiry has been duly set up by the present administration to investigate the former governor. The President has continued to shield the former governor, the latest of which is his inclusion in the Presidential team to the United States to meet with President Obama.”
The state PDP argued that if the President had been sincere and dispassionate in his efforts to bring to book corrupt leaders in the country, Amaechi would not be ‘dining’ and having ‘complimentary handshakes’ with Buhari at the Presidential villa.
“If President Buhari was also serious and had not marked certain citizens, particularly members of the PDP and those that served under former President Goodluck Jonathan for his selective punitive actions, Rotimi Amaechi will not be flying abroad with him, but would be made to answer corruption charges against him and his administration,” the statement added.
