The presidency has replied PDP over its criticisms on Ibrahim Magu’s probe, Garba Shehu, the presidential aide said that Buhari would not be deterred by the critics of his government
The Presidency has assured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari, who doubles as African Union (AU) Anti-Corruption Champion in Africa, will not be deterred by baseless criticisms by the opposition in his determination to eradicate rampant, chronic corruption.
Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), Made this statement in a chat with State House correspondents in Abuja on Tuesday, He was responding to issues raised by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) since the beginning of the interrogation of suspended acting EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu.
He said the volume and reach of the anti-corruption crusade so far reflect what the PDP left behind. Shehu said corruption became so normalised by the PDP that they had difficulty defining what is “corruption” and “theft”.
Gerba Shehu praised President Buhari’s determination to end corruption in the country as responsible for the number of highly publicised charges and cases.
“The large number of cases, new and old, may appear to be daunting but PDP, which is now heckling the president, has forgotten that the party bequeathed this to the current administration. They had a large number of cases they did not investigate and prosecute,” he said.
