Buhari Shielding Corrupt Family Members –PDP

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organization has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of shielding corrupt relatives, saying the President lacks the integrity to seek re-election in 2019.

PDP spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan made the accusation in a statement made available to newsmen on Thursday, December 27.

The PDP said President Buhari no longer has the moral standing to seek re-election until he directly answers its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

PDP in its statement asserted that the president has soiled his hands in the alleged corrupt acquisition of Etisalat Nigeria and Keystone Bank PLC, insisting that he (Buhari) should “perish the thought of going ahead with his re-election campaign without clearing this pertinent issue”.

The PDP through its Presidential Campaign Organization challenged President Buhari to explain how his “family members came about the sum of N1.032 trillion for this scandalous acquisition”.

“Nigerians are not interested in mere rhetoric or attempts by the Buhari Presidency to divert public attention from the issue at hand, but demand that President Buhari, who hitherto prides himself as Mr. Integrity, squarely addresses these grave issues in person,” the PDP said.

The party accused President Buhari and his family members of entangling themselves in corruption, saying, “Mr. President’s hands can no longer be said to be clean until he proves otherwise”.

It asked the president to put forth a denial on the disclosure by its candidate, saying that “President Buhari’s refusal to personally address this matter means consent”.
