The deputy chief Whip of the
House of Representatives, Mr Pally Iriase, has said that former Vice President,
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, excuses for leaving the All Progressives Congress (APC)
to People Democratic Party (PDP) does not make sense.
Iriase said Atiku was not fair to
Nigerians when he said he resigned from APC because of failed promises of the
President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
“Buhari took over government at a
time when the oil price crashed so there is no way he could have performed a
miracle. Some politicians will tell lies when they want to justify their
actions.
“Mr President lamented the other
day that when he was in the military, once you were known to be a thief, he
would bundle you into the prison then from there you would prove whether you
were clean or not. But this time, when you see a thief looting and going away
with your money, they will tell you he is innocent until proved guilty by the
court. He said you could see his dilemma. So you can see what is happening.
“When people say corruption is
fighting back, it is serious. But I believe that given a lot of things quietly
going on despite the paucity of funds, Nigerians will see the sincerity of
purpose in this government.
“When it is time to start pin
pointing what has been achieved, the greater majority of Nigerians will know
the difference,’’
Iriase, who is representing Owan
federal constituency of Edo State in the House of Representatives, pointed out
that when campaigns for 2019 begins,
“you will see that there will be
no Atiku factor in Edo State or Nigeria as a whole. This APC government is
actually taking Nigeria on the right path. It is just that the rot that you
need to clean up to start seeing light at the end of the tunnel is so
humongous.“
