PDP Asks APC To Account For N10trn Stolen By Its Leaders

 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday challenged the Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to immediately account for the over N10 trillion public funds allegedly stolen by its leaders and members in the presidential cabal.

PDP further alleged that the APC and presidency have been playing saint and pointing accusing fingers  while their officials are having field day frittering trillions of naira  to finance their opulent lifestyles and political interests, even under  the watch of the African Union (AU) Anti-Corruption Champion.

National publicity secretary of PDP,  Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement  asked “the Presidency to address Nigerians on the leaked Memo detailing corrupt oil contracts to the tune of N9 trillion ($25billion  dollars) at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, which are under President Muhammadu Buhari’s direct supervision as Minister of Petroleum Resources.

“The PDP also challenges the APC and the Presidency to come clear on the  widely reported stealing of N1.1 trillion (USD 3.5bn) worth of crude oil  by APC interests operating with seven ghost companies.

“This is in addition to the looting from the Treasury Single Account  (TSA) evidenced in the reported stealing of N10 billion National Health  Insurance Scheme (NHIS)’s account in the TSA, as well as revelation of  the frittering of fresh N25 billion under questionable ‘deals’.”

PDP also demanded that the APC and the Presidency to address  Nigerians “on the widely reported stealing of N18 billion Internally  Displaced Persons (IDP) intervention fund as well as the source of the  N671 million allegedly stolen from the APC account by some of its national officers.”
