Fabiyi, stated that while there are many members of the ruling All Progressives Congress with corruption allegations hanging over them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and other anti-graft agencies, the Federal Government has narrowed its beam-light on opposition political leaders.
The Deputy National Financial Secretary of the ADC stated this on Thursday in a statement.
He asserted that the unleashing of Nigeria’s three major anti-graft and security agencies, EFCC, DSS, and ICPC against El-Rufai looks like a coordinated onslaught.
The statement reads, “President Bola Tinubu appears to have recognized the depth and strength of Mallam Nasir El-Rufai’s influence and political standing. This realization seems to have prompted the unleashing of Nigeria’s three major anti-graft and security agencies, EFCC, DSS, and ICPC against him in what looks like a coordinated onslaught.
“The Presidency seems deeply uncomfortable, worried, and disturbed by the prospect that it may be difficult to secure a conviction against El-Rufai.
“It is deeply worrisome to witness the extent to which the Presidency is willing to go in persecuting prominent opposition leaders.
“As things stand today, El-Rufai has effectively become a political prisoner of war. This pattern of action speaks volumes about the kind of country we are becoming.
“The memory is still fresh of how Adams Oshiomhole publicly declared that once anyone joins the ruling APC, no matter how heavily corruption allegations hang over their head—all their past sins are instantly forgiven.
“Yet the same government that shamelessly welcomed and flaunted alleged corrupt politicians into its fold is now aggressively pursuing members of the opposition. All sense of decorum, responsibility, and morality appears to have been sacrificed on the altar of politics,” Fabiyi added.
