It was a shocking surprise, as the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, was declared as a party for saints, and not a safe haven for those facing corruption charges.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Bolaji Abdullahi, dropped this bombshell on Monday, while speaking with Journalists in Ilorin, Kwara State.
This came on the heels of the allegation by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, that the APC was harbouring Politicians ,who were undergoing prosecution for corruption related offences.
APC however, asked those alleging that the ruling party was hobnobbing with the corrupt, to back up their claim with facts.
Abdullahi insisted that those accusing the ruling party of shielding some Politicians, were merely speculating, as the party was not interested in providing cover for anyone.
The APC Spokesman, stated that the party would ensure that the current anti-graft battle was fought to a logical end.
“What is the available fact that people are being shielded? So, I think we need to find a clear definition for what is going on. People who are coming to APC, have their reasons for joining the party.
“But we made it clear that APC will not provide a safe haven for anyone who is trying to shield himself for whatever he is being accused of. I don’t know any of these people who have decamped, who had corruption cases hanging on their necks, and who after joining the APC, those corruption cases have been dropped”, Abdullahi said.
However, Post-Nigeria could recall that the Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi; Minister of Solid Minerals, Fayemi; President Muhamamdu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari; among others; have been accused of massive corruption.
