Buhari and Atiku
Chieftain of the Peoples Democratice Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has listed what he considers corruption cases in the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
TORI News had reported that in a statement on Wednesday, the Presdiency reacted to an interview presidential aspirant, Atiku Abubakar granted a news media on the “uncompromising” stance of Buhari.
“President Buhari is uncompromising in the quest to restore probity and accountability to public office. He is uncompromising in cleaning the rot Nigeria was consigned into pre-2015, thus the war against corruption is being fought without fear or favour,” Femi Adesina, Buhari’s spokesperson wrote.
According to PREMIUM Times, in a swift reaction, Atiku Abubakar, in a statement by his media office, however, disagrees with the statement.
“If the above is true, then why did the presidency do nothing as the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, went to court to secure a kangaroo court order to stop the Senate of the National Assembly from investigating who recalled, reinstated and double promoted Abdulrasheed Maina
“If President Buhari is “uncompromising in cleaning the rot Nigeria was consigned into pre-2015” then how come the latest Corruption Perception Index by Transparency International reveals that Nigeria is more corrupt today than she was in 2015, having moved 12 steps backwards in Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index, moving from 136 in 2014 under the PDP to 148 today?
“Again, we ask how uncompromising a President can be when he allows a minister accused of forgery to remain at her job?”
Atiku then alleged that Buhari is surrounded by officials who do not tell him the truth.
