Buhari fight against corruption not selective -----Odigie-Oyegun
(Nigeria) The National Chairman of All Progressives Congress,
APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has said that there is no selective justice in
the fight against corruption by the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
Odigie-Oyegun told newsmen in Makurdi, Benua State on Sunday
that both members of the ruling APC and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, found wanting
were being prosecuted by the anti-corruption agencies.
He said, ``PDP has been in government at the centre for 16
years when all these atrocities were being perpetrated; so it is normal that
majority of the people dragged to the court will be their members.
“Recently, there are backlogs of cases coming up as reported
by the media and some of the people being taken to court are members of the
APC. So, it is very unfair to say that the president is doing selective justice
in his fight against corruption."
Odigie-Oyegun said the APC-led Federal Government would not
compromise the future of the country for the interest of a selected few as it
was done during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
He said the president was determined to stabilise the
economy and fulfil all his campaign promises and noted that the party's
manifesto was built around the president who was an upright person.
``Certainly, there will be hard nuts to crack.
“When we took over, we did not expect to meet this kind of
economy where our currency would be so depreciated and crude oil sold as low as
38 dollars per barrel. The manifesto of the APC is built around the presidency
and welfare of the citizen is the paramount objective of the party.
“President Buhari-led administration would not deviate from
this original ideology of the party. President Buhari would stabilise the
economy and fulfil all his campaign promises. Most importantly, everything the
president is doing is for the overall interest of the Nigerian citizens,"
the party chairman said.
Odigie-Oyegun was in the state for the official launch of
APC Benue South senatorial campaign of Mr Daniel Onjeh.
