The leadership of the All Progressives Congress, however, urged Nigerians to trust the ruling party in handling the padding crisis.
The APC Deputy National Chairman (South), Mr. Segun Oni, said Nigerians should not rely on body language, but on what the party spoke on the issue.
The former Governor of Ekiti State was asked by one of our correspondents why the APC was handling the alleged padding of the 2016 national budget as a “family affair” when the issue was national and had generated public interest.
He said, “The APC family is also a family of Nigerians because Nigerians have given us the responsibility to run Nigeria. So, if anything affects Nigeria, it affects our family and if anything affects our family, we expect Nigerians to take interest in it. nawa o
“Our party has as one of our cardinal objectives, the agenda to wrestle corruption to the ground.
“Nigerians should stop insinuating; they should listen to us. They should listen to our language as we speak it out. We are not going to contradict ourselves. Nigerians should expect us to do the right thing.”
The ex-governor said the APC had assigned an all-northerner committee, including the Deputy National Chairman (North), the National Vice-Chairman (North-West) and the National Secretary of the party, to handle the party’s intervention.
Both Dogara and Jibrin, who are at the centre of the crisis, are from the North. -PUNCH
