The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Friday, threatened to expose individuals in the fold of the ruling All progressives Congress, APC, indicted to have looted their state resources.
It also said that the looted funds were massively deployed for the electioneering campaigns of President Muhammadu Buhari in the last 2015 general polls.
“We will no longer hesitate to go public with the list of indicted individuals in their fold who looted their state resources and deployed such funds to Buhari 2015 Campaign”, the party said.
PDP spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan made this declaration in Abuja through a press statement he made available to newsmen.
This threat may not be unconnected with the latest APC allegation that the PDP national chairman Uche Secondus and former publicity secretary, Olisa Metu were among those who looted the country dry in the immediate past PDP-led federal government.
The party further explained that it had the list of prominent individuals who looted public funds, parading as the war chest of the APC, yet, were provided cover by the Buhari administration.
PDP also asserted that none of its members in their re-branded fold was either convicted or indicted of corruption and looting of any public funds.
The opposition party said the allegation preferred against Secondus and Metu were politically motivated just to smear and discredit the PDP.
Part of statement reads, “we make bold to state that in President Buhari’s cabinet are former APC governors indicted by their states for looting funds belonging to the people, bulk of which were used to finance the President’s 2015 campaign”.
“They believe that they must take revenge on everything. This is why they are going about hounding everybody perceived to hold opinions that are contrary to their interest”.
“This explains why they have continued to keep people like the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) in detention, even after he has been granted bail by the courts and have been after figures like Senate President Bukola Saraki, Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu as well as politicians perceived to be interested in the 2019 Presidential elections.
“It is incongruous and shameful that the Presidency and APC are still engaging in their hypocritical media trial of asking the PDP to refund alleged looted funds, when the world is aware that those who looted the economy are all in the APC where they have become the poster faces of President Buhari and his discredited party”.
