The All Progressives Congress has listed new instances of
alleged looting of the treasury by some officials of the Jonathan
Administration, saying the corruption mess that characterized the
administration was so pervasive that until it is cleaned, Nigeria will not be
able to actualize its potentials. ”Those who would rather give comfort to the
looters by dismissing the media exposure of looting cases as mere hell-raising
should realize that no sane person can be silent in the face of what is
unfolding as the worst cases of brazen stealing of public funds in Nigeria’s
history,” the party said in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed. ”On August 16, 2015, we
listed some instances of the breath-taking looting of the treasury by some
officials of the immediate past administration. Today, we bring three more
heart-rendering cases to the attention of Nigerians. We will not relent until
closure has been brought to this issue,” it said, listing the new cases as:
– A mind-shattering 2.2 billion-US-dollar arms scandal.
– A 6.9
million-dollar fraud by the Chief Security Officer (CSO) to President
Jonathan, committed under the guise of buying three mobile stages for the
President.
– A 2.5
billion-Naira scam involving the rent of house boats.
”While
those charged with handling these cases are finalizing the details of bringing
the suspects to justice, our immediate concern is the attempt by the PDP, under
whose umbrella the looting took place, to blame the Buhari administration for
the mess and then infer that things have been worse in Nigeria in the last
three months under the APC-led federal government than in the 16 years under
the PDP. This is totally provocative, shameless and uncharitable. ”They say we
are yet to fulfill our campaign promises to Nigeria, but they have forgotten
that if only the PDP/Jonathan administration had not stolen Nigeria blind,
there would have been more than enough money to give school children in Nigeria
not just one, but three meals a day and even pay 5,000 Naira to 50 million most
vulnerable Nigerians, not just the 25 million we promised in our manifesto,”
APC said Despite the almost daily discovery of cases of corruption under the
Jonathan administration, the party assured Nigerians of better days ahead, as
all its campaign promises would be kept because of the commitment and
determination of President Buhari, not only to cleaning the Augean Stable, but
also ensuring purposeful governance for the benefit of all Nigerians.
