The Chairman, Presidential
Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay has stated that the
Economic and Financial Crimes commission, EFCC, recovers stolen money from the
former minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke on daily basis.
He was reacting to the 19th
anniversary celebration of the party.
He, therefore, called on the
former ruling party to celebrate it with sober reflection instead of boasting
about its “achievements.”
He said the Buhari administration
had recovered nearly a trillion naira alone this year from officials who served
under the PDP.
The PACAC chairman asked the PDP
to apologise to Nigerians and turn a new leaf as this was the only way to
regain the confidence of Nigerians.
Sagay added, “I am disappointed
in the PDP. If they are celebrating 19 years, they should celebrate with caution
and give the nation an assurance that they would not bring such negative impact
on our nation again and they have turned a new leaf.
“Yes, President Obasanjo was the
one who proposed the establishment of the EFCC and the ICPC? After Nuhu Ribadu
left the EFCC, what became of the EFCC? These people just neutralised these
agencies and turned this country into an ATM from which they kept on
withdrawing money until there was nothing left.
“So, they destroyed our economy;
their greed was overwhelming. If you look at Diezani for instance, there is no
day that goes by that money is not recovered from her. In Thursday’s papers, it
was reported that the EFCC had recovered about half a trillion naira from these
people.”
