The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), has accused the Federal Government of smuggling erstwhile Minister of
Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, out of the country to prevent her from exposing how
the Presidency cabal, including close relations and associates of President
Muhammadu Buhari fleeced the nation of trillions of naira.
Adeosun last week left Nigeria
after stepping down as Finance Minister.
A statement by PDP’s
spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, said by congratulating Adeosun, even after she
had admitted her culpability on issues of forgery and corrupt practices, the
APC-led government has further showed to be a party of corruption; “an
iniquitous fold, where thieves receive medals instead of condemnation.”
The statement reads, “There are
clear evidences that Adeosun could not have circumvented the Department of
State Services (DSS), Nigeria Intelligence Agency (NIA), National Security
Adviser (NSA) the Police and even the Secretary to the Government of the
Federation (SGF) without the tacit approval of the Buhari Presidency.
“Furthermore, how did Adeosun
evade checks by the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Abeokuta
and the Ogun State House of Assembly for clearance as commissioner, with her
status as a dual citizen, if not armed with inherent tendencies for fraud? It
is clear that the Buhari Presidency exploited this factor to swindle the
nation, in the finance ministry.
“Moreover, the PDP is worried
that President Buhari in appointing Adeosun, with her divided citizenship
allegiance, to hold the sensitive office of the Minister of Finance, exposed
our nation to the dangers of having our security and economy information sold
to international interests.
“This, perhaps, explains the
anti-Nigeria financial policies, including damaging foreign borrowing negotiations,
which have returned our beloved country to a debtor nation.
“Until President Buhari brings
Adeosun back to explain how the Presidency cabal and APC leaders frittered away
more than N10 trillion in 3 years, the Buhari Presidency and the APC lack the moral
rectitude to pontificate on corruption as they have become directly complicit.
“Finally, the PDP calls on the
international community, particularly, the British Government, not to shield
Adeosun from facing the course of justice.”
“The PDP urges the British Prime
Minister, Theresa May, to note that Adesoun has already confessed to a fraud in
Nigeria and must not be allowed a shelter in her nation.
“We also call on the
international community to put an eye on all officials of the Buhari
administration, including ministers, special advisers and APC leaders as it has
become obvious that they are being used to fritter trillions of our national
resources while our citizens wallow in poverty, hunger and starvation.”
