Acknowledging
the sacrifices, he said: “Some distance away from here lie the bodies of that
great patriot and democrat, Chief MKO Abiola and his wife, Kudirat. They died
so that we could breathe the air of democracy.” Noting what he claimed as the
PDP’s sterling role as the unifying body for Nigerians and the only party
genuinely fighting corruption, he said: “But, we abhor the politicization of
corruption by military veterans. “We know what Buhari did after he indicted our
respected leaders like Alhaji Shehu Shagari, Dr Alex Ekwueme and others for
corruption.
These
military veterans and their cohorts are today still trying to use the same old
trick to hoodwink our people. “Today, General Buhari, like in 1983, is posing
as an anti-corruption crusader, even when surrounded by people of questionable
means, all in an effort to cajole the electorate ahead of the forthcoming
election. Interestingly, the party that is parroting anti-corruption slogans
epitomizes corruption in all its ramifications.
