The Peoples Democratic Party has berated the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership over what it calls; despicable attempt to cover APC leaders who siphoned and frittered over N15 trillion from the national coffers, instead of advising President Muhammadu Buhari to go after them and recover the looted funds.

This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan and made available to Control TV in Abuja.
According to the statement, PDP holds that it is a classical case of corruption in the APC fighting back and justifying its loathsome activities.
The statement further adds that, The PDP asserts what it calls; shameful attempt by the APC National Caretaker Committee to justify and provide cover for looters in their party at a time when over 40 million Nigerians have lost their means of livelihood, with many more living in abject poverty because of the unbridled widespread looting by APC leaders, further confirming that the APC is an irredeemable citadel of corruption.

PDP futher alleged that, the Governor Mai Buni-led APC leadership has become the mouthpiece for the treasury looters in their party, whose conduct has brought the nation to its knees in the last five years.
The party however invite the new spokesperson of corruption in the APC to answer to the leaked NNPC official memo which detailed how a whooping N9.3 trillion was alleged to have been stolen by APC leaders as well as the reported N1.1 trillion worth of crude allegedly stolen with 18 unregistered ships belonging to certain APC leaders.
“Since the APC has now turned itself into the mouthpiece in defence for the stolen N15 trillion, our party invites Nigerians to also hold the Mai Buni-led APC leadership accountable for this humongous treasury looting, which is responsible for escalated unemployment, collapse of infrastructure and hardship in our nation,” the statement added.
The APC has waved the statement aside saying it’s a figment of the imagination of an opposition desperate to regain control of the centre it destroyed for 16 years of it’s administration by plundering the nations resources.
