The Peoples Democratic Party(PDP)has explained the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration as a government of liars, for the liars and by the phonies.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed at a media briefing early on Thursday in Abuja, had actually stated the administration of the APC had actually put in place structures that would not only check corrupt propensities but make it unappealing and expensive.

PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, vehemently disagreed with the Minister of Information’s claim, stating that the Buhari administration is sinking deeper into the abyss of failure.

The opposition party specified that “the APC administration is unsettled by the Transparency International (TI) Report which ranks Nigeria under President Buhari as the 2nd most corrupt country in West Africa and 154 out of 180 in Global Corruption Index, given APC’s enormous corruption including the exposed looting of over N16 trillion public funds by APC leaders and their cronies in government.”

It likewise included that the President Buhari-led administration has no reaction to the alleged robbery of $25 billion under its watch as detailed in the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) leaked memo.

PDP also challenged the APC government to provide answers to the “noted stealing of N165 billion in the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), the N1.5 trillion and $9.5 million reportedly taken from Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), the $65 million frittered from the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) in addition to the N90 billion reportedly looted from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).

“This remains in addition to the reported robbery of N33 billion from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the reported stealing of over N18 billion from the rehab of IDPs in the North East, the over N25 billion from the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) along with the looting of N500 billion Social Investment Programme Fund as revealed by the First Lady, Aisha Buhari among others,” the declaration mentioned.

PDP berated the Minister of Information and Culture over his attempt to hide the alleged complicity of the APC in the continuing insecurity in the country and claim that the APC government has actually uncovered 96 sponsors of terrorism and apprehended 45 individuals confirmed to be terrorists.

It queried that, if the ruling APC can not purge itself of a self-confessed terrorism apologist, how can it claim to have successfully challenged terrorism in the nation?

The opposition celebration also challenged the APC to publish the names and details of those it claimed to be sponsors of terrorism and those it claimed to have been apprehended.
