The Action Democratic Party (ADP) has condemned alleged high level of corruption under the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The party made its stance known in a statement
In the statement, the party said that “Buhari has become the ring leader of corruption in Nigeria, where funds meant for the development of the country are looted in broad day light.”
The statement read,
“Not long ago, a House of Reps committee exposed another corruption where over N50billion meant to be in TSA was lodged into a secret account in total contravention of Nigeria’s TSA policy. Nigerians are also in deep confusion over this development; corruption has been taken to unimaginable levels under this government.
“It is sad that same Buhari who was massively voted for in 2015 under the ‘change mantra’ with huge expectations that he will fight and bring corruption to a conclusive end has turned out to be the major supervisor. This was the same president Buhari who once wrote a letter to the Senate to absolve Babachir Lawal of the N500million Grass cutting scandal. Even after been forced by Nigerians and civil society to sack the Lawal, he is yet to be prosecuted. The same Buhari has against several court orders, locked Dasuki who is facing a similar corruption case in prison. It is evident that Buhari is no longer fighting corruption but fighting his perceived political enemies.”
The party equally accused the APC-led government of making corruption a “free-for-all” which even civil servants join to massively loot national resources without fear of consequences.
Furthermore, ADP said it was ready to provide a credible alternative to the ruling party in the 2019 general election.
