Oshiomhole, others not excused in Buhari’s vow to jail more thieves – APC

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has said
that its members, even those in President
Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet will not be
excused in the fight against corruption.
The Acting National Publicity Secretary of the
party, Yekini Nabena, in a statement yesterday,
challenged Nigerians to petition the anti-
corruption agencies against any person they
considered corrupt.
The APC was reacting to the barrage of attacks
that trailed the threat from President Buhari to
jail corrupt persons on arrival from London.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and other
Nigerians had demanded that Buhari should start
the jailing with the ruling party’s National
Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and
former Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, David Babachir Lawal and others.
The party stated, “It is not true that Mr.
President is targeting opposition by that
statement.
“We are all in this country to know that a serving
APC Senator is currently facing trial over
corruption.
“When he said he is going to jail more people, he
was not targeting only the opposition.
“The law will always take its course and it does
not matter where he starts. If Nigerians want Mr
President to prosecute Oshiomhole or anyone
close to the President, they should do the
needful.
“If anyone can establish any case against them,
let the law takes its course.
“Nobody is shielding anybody and we challenge
the judiciary to live up to the expectations of
Nigerians in handling corruption cases.”
