…Counsels Akpanudoedehe on Speaking For Thieving, Anti-People APC
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the Buhari Presidency and the
All Progressives Congress (APC)’s resort to diversionary attack on the
PDP and churning out long epistles of lies and false performance claims
will not save them from accounting for their atrocities in office.
The PDP assures that these antics will not save the APC and its indicted
leaders from answering for atrocities which include the stealing of over
N15 trillion public funds, manipulating the Buhari administration and
importing terrorists and bandits for 2019 general elections who are now
on rampage, killing innocent Nigerians, particularly in the northern
parts of our nation.
We know that APC’s attack is a desperate diversionary tactics as more
revelations continue to emerge on how its leaders and some presidency
officials pillaged our national treasury and stole over N15 trillion
naira as well as how the APC has been patronizing bandits with our
national resources.
This is especially giving the decision by our party to expose such APC
leaders, in addition to the rising public demand on President Muhammadu
Buhari to recover the money and prosecute the culprits.
Our party also notes the plots by current APC leadership to blackmail
and ridicule President Buhari by pushing out fake performance claims,
like those contained in the press statement by its illegal caretaker
committee on Tuesday, January 5, 2021, which was designed to rubbish Mr.
President, highlight his failures and deflect attention from the
atrocities of the APC.
Such fake narratives will not help the APC as our party has details of
their nefarious leaders, including APC governors, ministers, certain
aides of Mr. President, as well as APC fronts in agencies of government,
and would not hesitate to make such public at the fullness of time.
The APC had become rattled because of pressure from the PDP and other
well-meaning Nigerians asking President Buhari to go after APC leaders
as well as Presidency officials involved in the reported stealing of
N9.6 trillion ($25 billion) oil revenue as detailed in the leaked NNPC
memo.
APC leaders are having sleepless nights because the dragnet would soon
catch up with all of them involved in the reported stealing of N1.1
trillion worth of crude using 18 unregistered vessels; the looting of
over N2 trillion in hazy oil subsidy regime, including a criminal
under-recovery for unnamed West African countries as well as illegal tax
per liter of petrol running into trillions of naira.
APC leaders are also jittery because they would soon explain how they
siphoned N500bn Social Investment Programme and the N16bn meant for
Mosquito Net Project, as exposed by First Lady Aisha Buhari in addition
to the N90 billion stolen from the Federal Inland Revenue Service
(FIRS), in a racket in which certain top APC leaders were alleged to
have received N3 billion each.
Very top officials in the Buhari Presidency have gone under over their
alleged involvement in the looting of N33 billion NEMA fund as exposed
in the findings by the House of Representatives that the funds were
never used for provision of emergency food for victims of insurgency in
the Northeast among other items as claimed.
Some known APC leaders are now running amok over their involvement in
the siphoning of the N48 billion meant for the rebuilding of six
northeast states ravaged by insurgency as well as the looting of N25
billion from the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), among others.
This is in addition to those fingered in the relooting of repatriated
funds, the alleged extortion of N1.2 billion from poor beneficiaries of
the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s Anchor Borrowers’ Programme, the
fraud allegation in the EFCC leading to the suspension of its acting
Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, as well as the looting of billions of naira
Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
Having stripped our national coffers, the APC is now using its illegal
caretaker committee to attempt to set the narrative of empty treasury to
validate their further looting of funds meant for the 2021 budget.
By now, the APC ought to know that such narratives cannot fly when
Nigerians are already aware that its leaders stashed away over N15
trillion stolen from our national coffers.
We therefore invite the new mouthpiece of the thieving APC, Senator
James Akpanudoedehe, to find something more meaningful to do with his
time as Nigerians are no longer swayed by APC’s lies and propaganda.
Under the PDP, people like Senator Akpanudoedehe progressed under the
robust economy and a secured nation where the system worked.
If Akpanudoedehe meant well, he should be apologising for the failures
of his party and the devastation it has brought to our country.
He should be apologising to victims of the bandits imported by his
party. He should have been apologising for the looting by his party
leaders as well as President Buhari’s failures, which have brought
economic hardship and untold devastation to our nation.
