The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has charged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to
immediately proscribe the All Progressives Congress (APC) following revelations
that it allegedly financed President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2015 campaign with
looted funds.
The party, in a statement by its
National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan Monday, also gave the
Buhari-led Presidency a three-day ultimatum to respond to allegations that it
was elected with looted funds or find itself top of the list of confirmed
looters.
The party said instead of the
Presidency and the APC to come out with a response on how President Buhari’s
2015 campaign was funded with looted sums, they were busy hallucinating about
names of individuals whose
matters were before the courts of
competent jurisdiction.
It reads: “It is evidently clear
that the APC, Federal Government and the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, are running away from the issue of how they raised money to install
Buhari as President.
“They have pressed the panic
button and resorted to unfounded allegations against PDP members just to divert
the attention of Nigerians and the international community from their atrocious
government and its manifold failures of leadership.
“The PDP will not join the
panicky APC and the Federal Government in their resort to engage in matters
that are subjudice because we believe and respect the Rule of Law,
particularly, as it concerns the rights of every citizens.
“We know those in the APC and
Buhari’s cabinet, who as champions of looting, plundered the resources of their
various states and handed same over for the very expensive electioneering
campaign of President Buhari, who had earlier confessed of his insolvency.
“We have challenged the APC and
the Presidency to declare the sources of these funds and how they were used
since they have been proven to come from public coffers.
“Now that the APC, the Federal
Government, Alhaji Lai Mohammed and the Buhari Presidency have chosen a loud
silence rather than accepting that looted funds were used to install Buhari as
President in 2015, we charge INEC to do the needful by commencing the process
for the proscription of the APC as a political party.”
