President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption crusade has been described as a war between the
ruling party, the All Progressives Congress andbthe major opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party.
In a statement issued on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, the PDP claimed that President Buhari and the APC were using ongoing fight against corruption to target and destroy it.
“It is sad and embarrassing that President Buhari’s anti-corruption crusade has now been reduced to a war between the APC and the PDP
as declared by the office of his spokespersons.
Since they have confirmed that this is what the anti-corruption crusade is all about, the APC is obviously seeking to destroy the PDP so that it
can push through Buhari’s second tenure in 2019 without opposition from the PDP.
“This has also confirmed our concern that this is the reason the Federal Government is persecuting,
and not prosecuting, Col. Sambo Dasuki. The APC and its leaders fear that Dasuki, given his vast political and security network, may be harbouring a presidential ambition, more so that the PDP has zoned its presidential ticket to the north,” Metuh said.
The statement noted that the PDP was aware of an alleged “sinister plan by the APC-led Federal
Government to completely decimate our party” by raking up corruption charges against the ex- President Goodluck Jonathan administration and leaders of the PDP with a view to taking them to court on orchestrated charges.
