The Peoples Democratic Party has
alleged that Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo is a beneficiary of corruption.
Kola Ologbondiyan, spokesman of
the party, said this in response to the numerous allegations the nation’s
number two citizen has levelled against the opposition party.
At the APC ward congress in
Eti-Osa locla government area of Lagos on Saturday, Osinbajo said the current
administration would not steal money like the previous one.
But Ologbondiyan said Nigerians,
particularly the younger generation, were disappointed in Osinbajo for
“allowing himself to be used to divert public attention from the impunity and
corruption that has saturated the All Progressives Congress-led federal
government”.
“We note that Vice-President
Osinbajo has refused to heed wise counsel and accord respect to his office by
desisting from such unguarded comments only because he has been sucked in and
entangled in the propaganda, deception, impunity and sleaze that not only
brought the administration to power, but have become its trademark in the last
three years,” he said in a statement.
“We specifically invite Nigerians
to note that all the assertions by the vice-president, especially on the
performance of the Buhari administration as well as his allegations and
bandying of figures against the opposition, have remained unsubstantiated.
“Moreover, Nigerians have noted
that Prof. Osinbajo, in his ‘sanctimony,’ has been silent on the exposed
corruption under the Buhari administration, including the leaked memo detailing
N9tn corrupt oil contracts at the NNPC, exposed sleaze in oil subsidy deals,
diversion of Internally Displaced Persons’ intervention funds.
“These include the probe of a
misappropriated N18bn in the National Emergency Management Agency under his
direct supervision as well as other looting in government agencies such as the
National Health Insurance Scheme.
“The Vice-President is also
ominously silent about the prevailing high-handedness and human rights
violations and the aloofness of government resulting in daily bloodletting in
various parts of our country.”
Ologbondiyan urged Osinbajo to
take heed, retreat to the inner room, and conduct a soul searching.
He said the Vice-President should
also note that propaganda and false accusations were not only abhorred by the
Holy Books, but would also not deliver the APC and “its incompetent
administration from the resolve of Nigerians to kick them out, come 2019.”
Responding, the Presidency on
Sunday said the PDP was embarking on a shameless attempt to perfect denial and
defection over the large-scale corruption that characterised the past
administration in the country.
Osinbajo is just a chameleon in human skin. One wonders if lying against others is the new Christian norm.
