Buhari Presidency Releasing Looted Funds To APC Candidates – PDP Alleges

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the Buhari Presidency
of releasing over N6 billion looted from federal funds to All
Progressives Congress (APC) National Assembly candidates to execute the
party’s rigging plans in the February 23rd Presidential and National
Assembly elections.

PDP made the allegation in a statement released by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan. The statement in part reads

Information available to our party shows that each of the 109 APC
senatorial candidates received N20 million, the 360 APC House of
Representatives candidates are being given N10 million each, while
various amounts are being disbursed by the Buhari Presidency to some
other APC leaders for the rigging plot.

The looted fund are to be used by the APC to dress fake security
agents, arm thugs and bribe compromised INEC officials and manipulate
the elections in the various Senatorial and Federal constituencies
across the country.

Intelligence at our disposal indicates that part of the money was
sourced from alleged diversion of funds meant for the rehabilitation of
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in various states of the federation.

This is in addition to monies allegedly siphoned from some income
generating agencies, including the National Health Insurance Scheme
(NHIS) and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

It is indeed a callous act of wickedness and impunity that the Buhari
Presidency, in its claimed integrity, would descend to the lowest level
of decadence by looting of funds meant for the development and
wellbeing of Nigerians to finance their rigging plots.

At a time well-meaning leaders all over the world are exerting
themselves in creating wealth for their people and developing their
nations, the Buhari Presidency, which plunged the nation into a bitter
economic recession, is still busy frittering our national resources to
finance its vicious plots against the already impoverished citizens.

The Buhari Presidency and the APC have further exhibited that they
are inherently corrupt, pervert and have no iota of interest in the
wellbeing of Nigerians.

Such impunity and recklessness of the Buhari Presidency is directly
responsible for the economic hardship, poverty and escalated
bloodletting in our country in the almost four years of the Buhari
administration.

The PDP therefore charges Nigerians to be alert and continue to rally
behind the people’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the all-important
quest to rescue our dear nation from the clutches of the corrupt,
dictatorial and incompetent Buhari administration, which now seeks to
truncate our electoral process and derail our democracy.
