Kola Ologbondiyan, spokesman of
the opposition party, had asked Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to either name
those accused of being corrupt or keep quiet.
Ologbondiyan said this after
Osinbajo vowed not to stop talking about the alleged corruption under former
President Goodluck Jonathan.
At a press conference in Lagos on Friday, Lai Mohammed, minister of
information, said the identities of “looters” were unveiled as a result of the
challenge of PDP.
On the list are the names of Uche
Secondus, chairman of PDP; Olisa Metuh, ex-spokesman of the PDP; and a former
aide of Jonathan.
“The PDP has challenged us to
name the looters under their watch. They said they did not loot the treasury,”
Mohammed said.
“Well, I am sure they know that
the treasury was looted dry under their watch. Yet they decided to grandstand.
This shows the hollowness of their apology. This list is just a tip of the
iceberg, and the PDP is aware of this. We did not make these cases up. Many of
these cases are in court and the records are available.
“Some of the people on this list
are seeking to plea bargain, and that is a fact. We insist that Nigeria was
looted blind under the watch of the PDP and that the starting point in
tendering an apology is for them to return the loot.
“It’s like a robber admitting to
stealing your car and apologising, but then saying he will keep the car anyway.
It doesn’t work that way. The PDP is a hypocrite. And that reminds me of what
English writer, William Hazlitt, said: ”The only vice that cannot be forgiven
is hypocrisy. The repentance of a hypocrite is itself hypocrisy’.’
“We will not stop talking about
the massive looting by the PDP. They brought Nigeria to this sorry pass. We are
now looking around for loans to build infrastructure, and they ask us not to
talk about it. we will talk about it.”
Below are the names released by
Mohammed and the allegations levelled against them:
What a joke this Govt have become. Lie Mohammed you to name $25billion NNPC contract awarded from OGA thru Baru. €5million paid for Dapchi girls from OGA thru Liar

ReplyDeleteThis is abject stupidity. Nothing is new. Are these not the people that EFCC has been questioning? Nobody from other parties tampered with public finances? You are saints you fools? Even Amaechi admitted recently that there's corruption in your current administration. You're all knuckheads.
