Following president-elect Bola Tinubu’s declaration that his istration will make corruption less attractive, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has told him that he cannot speak on the issue.

A statement from Tinubu’s camp after his commissioning of some judiciary projects in Rivers State, had quoted him saying: “You don’t expect your judges to live in squalor, to operate in squalor and dispense justice in squalor. This is part of the changes that are necessary. We must fight corruption, but we must definitely look at the other side of the coin.

“If you don’t want your judges to be corrupt you got to pay attention to their welfare. You don’t want them to operate in hazardous conditions.” Tinubu commended Wike for his foresight in providing judges and magistrates the best working and living conditions. He noted that with such provision, the governor had shown sufficient for the fight against corruption, particularly, in the judiciary.”

But speaking at a press conference at the national secretariat of the PDP in Abuja on Friday, the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said the party and indeed all sensible Nigerians are alarmed, scandalized and embarrassed by Tinubu’s statement.

According to him, “This statement by Senator Tinubu is completely sacrilegious and an assault on the sensibility of Nigerians, having regards to his records of alleged corruption and having been described variously as an embodiment of corruption in his public life.”

He alleged that it is in the public domain that as Governor of Lagos State, Senator Tinubu promoted and institutionalized corruption as an act of governance.

The PDP spokesman added: “It is on record that Senator Tinubu is alleged to be deeply involved in the infamous cases involving Alpha Beta Consulting Limited and Alpha Beta LLP, allegedly owned and controlled by him and through which over N100 billion belonging to Lagos State was reportedly stolen through shady tax collection deals.

“It is also public knowledge that there has been numerous allegations and evidence of corruption and complicity by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the declaration of Senator Tinubu as winner of the February 25, 2023 Presidential election. Today Nigerians and indeed the world believe that that declaration was a product of corruption of the Process, Institutions and the Law by the APC and its Presidential candidate.

“It is therefore ludicrous that an individual who has been widely alleged to be an enabler and beneficiary of corruption can attempt to put himself forward to Nigerians as a champion of anti-corruption. Of course, corruption cannot fight corruption!

“If indeed Senator Tinubu is desirous of fighting corruption, the starting point should be that he publicly and personally address Nigerians on the numerous allegations of corruption, including the Alpha Beta cases and alleged improper acquisition and conversion of Lagos State Government landed properties worth billions of naira to himself, family, associates and cronies.

“Clearly, Senator Tinubu’s pontification or claims on corruption is a further attempt to corrupt, cultivate, patronize, lure and compromise the Judiciary ahead of the commencement of the hearing of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on Monday, May 8, 2023 and nothing more.”

The PDP therefore called on the judiciary to be wary of attempts by the APC and the president-elect to patronize them in the course of the discharge of their Constitutional duties as impartial arbiter, particularly in the pending Petition before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

PDP is an evil party

He doesn't even have an atom of morality.

Obiedun:
PDP is an evil party

Then APC is what?

I agree that Tinubu lacks the moral com

How can Tinubu, a Notorious narcotic drug trafficker who built a conduit pipe from the coffers of lagos State treasury to his personal company Alpha Beta, thereby milking the entire state dry talk about fighting corruption

House of corruption fighting corruption?

Corruption sure cannot fight corruption. Tinubu lacks the moral right to speak on corruption being corruption personified himself.

He will make corruption less attractive to the masses and opposition not himself and cronies


Besides, making corruption less attractive is like scratching the surface of corruption, why not put a stop to it?

Ehya... I con dey pity PDP.. this PH visit pain them... Shoulda been Atiku but he's a BABYdaddy

You can't stop Nigeria kind of corruption over night... There's no switch button for it. You may want to suspend the democratic constitution that we have first but that may not stop it but if you try to make it less attractive. What Asiwaju is saying is. If a youth can get a job of 100k at least... He will likely not be pushed into crimes. If you can get loan to build a house or buy a car and spread the payment over years, you will likely not steal the money that belongs to other people. That's making corruption let's attractiv. Providing an alternative.

If we all have easy lives, there'll be no justification for crimes.

Loveagain:


Then APC is what?

APC is far better than PDP. PDP started this rubbish. Everything you complained about APC started under PDP. If they have started well and put things in order APC would not even send them out. Obasanjo spent eight years, the roads to his home town was not even touched. The road to his farm was not touched either.

PDP head on the grand the only thing you see them doing now is opening mouth and close.

And u don't even have a proton of it

Bulaba upon Balabluu...
Nothing changes.

it is good .

we need opposition to be on their toes

You did not to write "and soon to be President of Nigeria" before the tears dropped on your ink.

Accept my sincere condolence.

Buhari pro max

After Tinubu, APC will package another old man who will be licking microphone to power

Aso rock is not retirement home

I think Apc is worst in every ramifications.
See our just concluded 3bedroom bungalow construction if you're about starting your building project.. Link in my signature. Plus we offer building designs and construction services nationwide

So what they are saying is that they want the president-elect, supposing he really is stained by corruption (which is likely), to continue in that sinful path instead of doing what is right this time?

I don't get the essence of this statement.

A Guinean drug criminal speaking against corruption. Wonders shall never cease. A self acclaimed ant who hates statistics must surely be an idiot.

Tinubu+ obi+Atiku + PDP + APC+LP = corruption

YES, because he went to US Court and came out smiling. Unlike Atikuklation Abubakar your candidate who has been declared wanted in US and has to hide inside Bukola Saraki's diplomatic luggage to sneak into US the other time

leadership is not a skill you can acquire, but a character you should strengthen.

In essence, there should be no perceptible discrepancy between being a good leader and being a good man.

In fact, good men are the only ones who can be good leaders as well, since bad men who lead are merely leaders by designation and manipulators in truth.

Sometimes you need a criminal to fight criminality.

slivertongue:
House of corruption fighting corruption?

E no shock you?

Lol

Tinubu is an institution of corruption

All Tinubu minions agree with the fact that Tinubu and fighting corruption should never be mentioned in the same sentence

Tinubu is synonymous with corruption

Real age is in contention

Real name is in contention

Real occupation is in contention

Real citizenship is in contention

Real wealth is in contention

All of you ing evil APc since 2015 that might think you have survived Buhari , your existence will soon be in contention..

Quote me anywhere

We are tired of PDP. Please let them go and rest. Nigerian are willing to move forward with APC. Is that clear?

Na lie

The people talking also don’t have moral right to speak on Corruption 😂😂🤣 What a bunch of clowns 🤡
