The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday took a swipe at the All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing the ruling party of being a haven for corrupt politicians.
The party was reacting to the allegation that the national chairman of the APC, Mr. Adam Oshiomhole, had fled the country to evade corruption charges.
It, therefore, charged the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and INTERPOL to help track down Oshiomhole “believed to be on the run outside the country since his reported interrogation by the Department of State Services (DSS) over alleged corruption charges.”
The leading opposition party noted that “Adams Oshiomhole’s swift flight out of the country, at the heat of the investigation, is suspect and goes to confirm allegations that the Muhammadu Buhari Presidency is shielding him from prosecution for fear that his investigation would implicate certain interests at the Presidency and the APC.”
“It is ludicrous that the APC, in its lying proclivities, believes that by dismissing Oshiomhole’s arrest as a rumour and aiding him to momentarily flee the country, it would succeed in getting him off the DSS hook as well as sweeping the matter out of public discourse with its famished broom.
“No! Nigerians are already aware that Oshiomhole has not denied his investigation including his reported confession that the Presidency was in the loop of all his actions.
“The PDP had always cautioned Adams Oshiomhole of his unbridled arrogance, lust for power and alleged embezzlement of public funds for which he must surely have his day in the hands of the law.
“The PDP therefore demands that APC and the Buhari Presidency must immediately produce Adams Oshiomhole to face investigation and prosecution in our courts.”
