The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday accused President Muhammadu Buhari of entangling himself in a web of corruption by trying to launder his WAEC certificate scandal, instead of being remorseful and apologizing to Nigerians.
The leading opposition party said the “Presidency displayed the highest form of corruption and decadence by involving in manipulations, forgery and lies in an attempt to hoodwink Nigerians with bogus claims even when it had become clear that Mr. President does not possess the claimed WAEC certificate.”
The party insisted that nothing was more humiliating to the nation than having “our Presidency entangled in high-level of international corruption involving the name and personality of the President, the latest being the procuring and parading of fake WAEC certificate attestation.
The PDP noted that the development had further “worsened the image of the President, whose administration is overburdened by allegations of financial corruption and which has not been able to provide explanation for the over N10 trillion siphoned under its watch, particularly in the oil and gas sector.”
A statement by teh national Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, said: “The world now knows why the Buhari Presidency lacks the rectitude to genuinely fight corruption and the reason it has been harbouring liars, fraudulent individuals including certificate forgers both in ministerial and other top government positions as well as running the most corrupt administration in the history of our nation.”
“Now that all the shenanigans are laid bare, the PDP challenges President Buhari to, in his words, tell Nigerians how he would describe any person who claims to be what he is not, or claims to posses what he does not have.
“Finally, the PDP urges Nigerians to continue to be alert and united in their determination to vote out this incompetent, deceitful, duplicitous, disconnected and overtly corrupt Buhari administration, which has brought so much anguish and shame to our nation.”
