The Labour Party, LP, has added its voice to those calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to extend his probe beyond the immediate past administration of Goodluck Jonathan.
This was as it urged the President to be holistic in his current probe by also investigating former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, his Vice, Atiku Abubakar, Senate President, Bukola Saraki and other former state governors who are now in the Senate.
The LP Chairman, Alhaji Abdulkadir Abdulsalam made the call yesterday in Abuja while reacting to President Buhari’s declaration that the trials of looters of the nation’s treasury would begin in the coming weeks.
According to him, “I want to state that it (probe) is a welcome idea and development in our fight against corruption, but the fundamental question is; what are the pragmatic mechanisms put in place by the Buhari administration and the APC to fight corruption. What is the blueprint?
“If former Governor James Ibori is still languishing in jail in Great Britain, then governors who served and are known to have looted this country, in whatever political party, should not be spared,” Abdulsalam said.
