PRESIDENT BUHARI ON IZE-IYAMU:

TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY, PDP MUST SACK ITS GOVERNORS AND SENATORS

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which has been struggling to clear its name from alleged deals with the underworld in Dubai and the United States has, to our surprise, found the voice to attack the anti-corruption war of the Muhammadu Buhari istration following the President’s endorsement of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the All Progressives Congress, APC’s dashing candidate for the governorship election in Edo State.

Forgetting its own history and antecedents, the PDP said in a garrulous statement that “the President ought to have been aware that the Candidate is standing trial for corruption,” and then went on rant against the government’s war against corruption, alleging its failure.

Let PDP first withdraw the governorship nominations it gave to Ahmadu Fintiri and Bala Mohammed of Adamawa and Bauchi States respectively, before it opens its mouth and talk on the efforts of this istration in fighting corruption. Or else, it should shut its mouth forever and leave us to do what it dares not attempt.

Both PDP governors were actually on bail from criminal trial on several counts of fraud and embezzlement.

Justice A. R. Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday, July 1, 2016 granted bail to the former acting governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri. He was charged on June 30, 2016 by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, alongside his company, Mayim Construction and Properties Limited on a five-count charge of money laundering to the tune of N2.9 billion.

In the case of Bala Mohammed, the PDP Governor of Bauchi State, the EFCC, on Wednesday, May 10, 2017, arraigned the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, before Justice A. M. Talba of the Federal Capital Territory, High Court sitting in Gudu, Abuja, on a six-count charge bordering on abuse of office, false declaration of assets and fraud to the tune of N864 million.

“Bala, while in office as minister, allegedly received N550 million as bribe from Aso Savings and Loans Limited with respect to some properties in the Asokoro area of Abuja.
“He is said to have corruptly abused his position as Board Chairman of Aso Savings by allocating four numbers fully detached duplexes and 11 numbers semi-detached duplexes valued at N314 million through the Presidential Taskforce on Sale of Government Houses, to himself.

“The former minister is also accused of making false declaration of his assets.”

Pastor Ize-Iyamu is being prosecuted by the EFCC alongside Lucky Imasuen, former deputy governor of Edo State, Chief Dan Orbih, PDP Chairman in Edo State and other leaders of the party in the state, Tony Aziegbemi and Efe Erimuoghae.

Under the country‘s laws, only the courts can convict. A suspect remains a suspect until conviction. But, if in the view of the PDP, a suspect is guilty as charged, then they must show examples by withdrawing the nomination of their governors and the party’s numerous Senators and other legislators standing trial in various courts of the country.

A party which 16 years in office destroyed the country’s economy and infrastructure has no moral authority to criticize the accelerated infrastructure development drive, largely drawing its energy from the Buhari anti-corruption campaign.

A government that sees corruption in the past istration and sees corruption in its own istration, and fights it with equal gusto, cannot be placed on the same scale with those who, by their words and deeds said corruption is a way of life and Nigerians should learn to live with it.

This clean-up drive by the President Buhari istration will only speed up with the ongoing investigations and trials.

The current istration’s cleansing exercise of the government, politics and economy in line with the zero tolerance for corruption, will not be distracted.

Pdpiss pot calling kettle black
plus 16 years of looting

In other words PDP=APC according to mallam garba. Thanks sir.

APC came with a mantra of 'Change' & decieved gullible Nigerians that their products were original and very different from that of PDP...infact they pleaded that Nigerians should patronize them. Almost immediately after the patronage, their products turned out to be China made, including their brooms and when PDP calls them out, they now say afterall PDP has same products. That's the definition of hypocrisy, a characteristic of Pharisees.

U are actually very dumb to make this kind of contrast and reflection knowing fully well pdp didn’t clinge power with anti corruption mantra and deception... u on the other hand is a different pathetic criminal in nature story ..u av given a new definition to change as a word..

Nigerians should now see that APC is not a serious party but a set of copycats.


Instead of leading by example, they are out to copy every evil thing done by PDP, forgetting their promise to the people.

If not that PDP is full of shameless cretins, they won’t ask President Buhari to withdraw his for Ize-Iyamu. Ize-Iyamu is actually standing trial for money laundering alongside Edo State PDP chairman and other of the party. The N700m in question was disbursed by the PDP istration of Goodluck Jonathan and they have been calling the case a witch-hunt just like other cases involving PDP .

Osagie Ize-Iyamu decamped to APC and all of a sudden, the case is no longer a witch-hunt and Ize-Iyamu is guilty even though the court has not pronounced him guilty. The shameless hypocrisy of PDP stinks.

This is very shameful!!! APC should just forget about the corruption mantra and focus on governance. Confused set of people

What PDP can do APC can do better

stayclearofme:

So because PDP didn't clinged to power using the anti corruption mantra then their nominees can be corrupt? Mantra or no mantra is corruption supposed to be in any political party?.....The way una dey reason ehn.....so shameful.

omg

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

Endorse or no endorse
Ize iya mumu is not winning

Every evil thing like Ebele Jonathan sharing N700M to Ize-Iyamu for campaign or Obaseki laundering over $2M to with aid of his jailed commissioner ?

Just see this joke of a presidency

Following all the bad example of pdp bumper to bumper...

^{EDO 2020}
PDP is only a vehicle towards Obaseki's ambition but not a party, the reason why they display lack of tact and resources to deliver the estranged son.

Their campaigns have not been issue-based since the start of the campaign.

APC isn’t fighting corruption yet it’s on record APC top have actually visited jail or can you claim that’s a lie?

A party fighting others and even its is what war against corruption is

we need development

Buhari says he would fight corruption... Now he is copying corruption..

So what presidency is telling Nigerians now is that they are also following the wrong steps? Why crying for changes and next level then they should tell Nigerians that they are the number one promoters of corruption
