Chairman, Presidential Advisory
Committee Against Corruption, PACAC, Prof Itse Sagay, has accused former
President Olusegun Obasanjo of having a hand in the crises rocking the ruling
All Progressives Congress, APC.
He also said no power can cripple
or frustrate the President Buhari-led government.
The Professor of Law noted that
the defectors from the ruling APC to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, including the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, earlier made the ruling
party sick.
He, however, he also stressed
that the Buhari government was going to be stronger now despite the defection.
Speaking with Sun Newspaper,
Sagay said: “There is nothing much. Everybody is truly going to where he
belongs; there are too many odd fellows both in APC and the PDP; too many
people who do not belong, who are ideologically different, whose social and
moral obligations were different; those who do not care for the country, for
the populace, but only care for their pockets and progress.
“They were all mixed up and that
created a lot of tension and crises. Those who were indiscipline and totally
uncontrollable were in a party headed by Buhari, who is a man of discipline and
integrity. The whole thing was a mixture of odd fellows, which sparked off so
many crises, so now that they have gone, there is going to be peace and
progress and productivity.”
On the perception that the
development might cripple the government, he said: “It is not possible to
cripple or frustrate Buhari government. He was elected until May 29, 2019.
Nothing on earth anybody can do about it; he will be in power until that day
for certain. So, how are they going to cripple the government?
“When you have a mole; an
internal enemy, who is gradually eating inside of your party out and making it
sick, finally crawls out because some injection has been given to you, which
destroys it or forces it out, I think it is a positive thing. In fact, Buhari’s
government is going to be stronger now.”
Asked whether ex-Generals like
Obasanjo, IBB, Danjuma, Gusau, were fuelling the ongoing crises from behind,
Sagay stated, “I don’t know about all those people, but certainly Obasanjo has
a hand, and open about it. He is not hiding it that his greatest objective now
is to stop Buhari from being re-elected. He has not hidden it. So, he, I can
confirm, but the other names, I have no evidence about them on this.”
