The Peoples Democratic Party has on Sunday called for the
sacking of the spokesperson for the Presidential Campaign Council of the All
Progressives Congress, Festus Keyamo, for allegedly abusing office.
The PDP said this through the spokesperson for the
Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, at the party’s press
conference in Abuja.
The PDP said Keyamo “is using the official privilege and
powers of that office to intimidate the agencies of the government including
going to court and filing a case against the agents of the same branch of
government to which he belongs.”
The PDP was reacting to Keyamo’s call for the probe of Atiku
Abubakar over alleged corruption cases.
Saying the Minister of State for Labour Employment was using
his office to intimidate the agencies of the Federal Government, Bwala said,
“We hereby call on the President, Muhammadu Buhari to sack the minister for
abusing the privilege that he has.”
Keyamo had last week petitioned the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences
Commission, and other anti-graft agencies, to probe the PDP standard bearer,
Atiku, over alleged corruption cases.
The PDPPCC said Keyamo was using taxpayers’ money for
self-interests.
The press conference also had in attendance other key
members of the Atiku-Okowa campaign council, including Dele Momodu, who noted
that the conference was part one of the party’s planned press briefings.
The PDP also called on the National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency and the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control to
probe the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, over alleged drug-related
offences.
