National chairman of the Advanced Progressive Forum (APF), Joseph Onasanya, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to ignore “interlopers and sycophants” trying to distract him from his anti-corruption efforts.
Reacting to the statement credited to Bishop Hassan Kukah, when the National Peace Committee visited Buhari, Onasanya said the cleric should not have advised his host not to probe the former administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
According to him, Kukah’s statement has in “what would go down as an ill-fated trip to Aso Rock, Abuja, obliterated the sterling qualities that made him tower above his contemporaries”.
The APF leader stated that after watching what seemed like Kukah acting of a script, Buhari should probe allegations that some top pastors received huge funds on the eve of the Presidential election in March to support Jonathan.
He said the call had become necessary because “the double speaking by some reverend gentlemen in recent times calls for concern.
“Those who come to equity must come with clean hands and so we are aware that those whose cupboards are full of skeletons will do everything to stop them from being exposed,” he said.
