We Are All Guilty Of Corruption, PDP Tells ACN



The ruling party says if anything, the leading opposition party is as guilty of the same crime.

The Peoples Democratic Party has dismissed a statement from the Action Congress of Nigeria celebrating the categorization of Nigeria as corrupt by the United States as “misplaced.”

The ruling party says if anything, the leading opposition party is as guilty of the same crime.

“Why is the ACN gallivanting? That only the PDP is corrupt and the opposition saints? What sense is there in this naked dance in the centre of the market square,” asked a statement from the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh.

The PDP said that ACN was least qualified to point an accusing finger because its leader is one of the most corrupt Nigerians of the living memory.

“See who is pointing an accusing finger with all the sleaze going on in the states under the ACN; with the commonwealth of entire six states privatized to please the emperor at Bourdillon,” the statement said.

Action Congress had earlier described the ruling party as a “cesspool of corruption” citing the US report released weekend. But the PDP hit back a harshly worded statement.

“The world may know of corrupt cases in Nigeria because the PDP as the ruling Party has chosen not to condone corruption like the opposition. We have shown enough dispassion in the crusade that even some of our members found wanting had to face the full weight of the law. Winning the war on corruption is therefore a matter for all Nigerians to do his or her own beat,” statement by Mr. Metuh said.

“A deeper insight reveals no doubt that all corrupt persons in the civil and public services are not members of the PDP, neither are all Nigerians in their private businesses members of PDP.”

Mr. Metuh said, though it is easy to argue that as leaders all bucks stops on PDP’s table, it is at the same time needful to appreciate that all Nigerians must pull through their own beat.

“The phenomenon of corruption predates the 14 years of the PDP but our party has taken bold steps to tackle it. Whether, the ACN agrees or not, the establishment of the EFCC, ICPC and the enactment of the Freedom of Information Act are some of the firm measures in fight against corruption,” Mr. Metuh said.

“The PDP shall continue the fight until the chaff of corruption is winnowed into the fire,” he said.

Saddening to know PDP acknowledge to be corrupt. GEJ out in 2015.

An average Nigerian politician is a corrupt animal. Therefore all are corrupt

*Ywans,....trys to walk out but people coming in prevents him from doing so.
**Ywans again and says "but we've heard this b4" Pls PDP and or Opposition parties (APC, CPC, ACN, APGA) please tell us something new. Or better still tell us what u are doing to fight this corruption that has taken a deep root in our system. Cos we all know:
Corruption= PDP + APC + CPC + APGA + ACN = Corruption.

PLEASE BETWEEN PDP,ACN AND THE NAIRALAND MODERATORS,WHICH ONE IS MOST CORRUPT? ANY TONTO DIKEH'S TREAD MAKES THE FRONTPAGE

I had expected this FACT from PDP long before now! Corruption, the hydra-headed monster in Nigerian politics is not a PDP thing but Nigerian Nemesis since time immemorial and I don't see what PDP is doing wrong now that ACN, CPC, APC or APGA will do right In actual fact, I don't believe in partisan politics working in Nigeria it's a system that embraces wastefulness and encourages corruption on a large scale. So, whatever PDP is guilty of, other parties are also guilty of as well!

A bit Funny, I never thought I would be alive when PDP finally admit their corruption. I have to give them props on this, at least they are honest. ACN should replicate the same behavior and tell themselves the truth as well.
ACN=PDP=ACN=PDP=corruption. They are all the same.

Now that you realize you are corrupt, what do you plan to do to fix it PDP or are you guys that heartless that despite knowing all this, you'll continue to steal from the people you claim to protect.

Yes what PDP said is true. Politicans in Nigeria are the same with different brands (parties)

So PDP believe ACN is corrupt just because they are plaqued with it. If u can't cope with them, bring them to your level atleast. . . Lol

dahdah: PLEASE BETWEEN PDP,ACN AND THE NAIRALAND MODERATORS,WHICH ONE IS MOST CORRUPT? ANY TONTO DIKEH'S TREAD MAKES THE FRONTPAGE

This a national issue not Tonto Dike and Moderators issue please dnt derail cus this is not a something to joke with.

All these POT BELLIED OLD MEN won't just stop FOOLING THEMSELVES

Most Nigerian politicians lack principles. You see them changing parties as if na underwear while their payed propagandist paint them as one of the best things that have happened to humanity after enlightenment era.

Yes we all know they are both corrupt but if Pdp the ruling party did not encouraged it opposition ACN would'nt be as corrupt as they are now.
It is a shame that they know their is something called corruption and they refuse to stop, infact the confession cast doubt on the sanity of our leaders.

This PDPians r really out for blood!
They called ANPP a moribund and lacklustre party with nothing to show after 13yrs(could be true!)

And ACN a 1man led and controlled party(could be true too)

i don"t believe in any political party in Nigeria because they are all after their pocket even my oga at top Jonathan obasanjo buhari tinubu e.t.c

Ucheosefoh: This a national issue not Tonto Dike and Moderators issue please dnt derail cus this is not a something to joke with.

ARE YOU ONE OF THE CORRUPT MODERATORS

Yes, they're both probably equally corrupt. But is that supposed to make us feel any better? It's like saying no matter which way we vote or go, we can't escape the corruption.

PDP knows them better because they were once paddys and shares everything together

Pls somebody help:what is d difference btw acn,anpp,cpc and pdp i need answer cos d only difference i know is dat dey are d same with different brands.they are all similar in dat dey are both corrupt,media propangadaetc so wtf dey are only confirminh wat we know already.if dey can admit dey are corrupt then dey should pls spare us d news on how dey are fighting corruption cos can one fight himself.mtceeeew bunches of confused fellows

Intrepid!:
It completely baffles me to see people like this in positions of power. From North to South, we have confirmed idi.ots in positions of power while honest, intelligent citizens are stuck in so-and-so jobs. See how someone's father just opened his trap and is talking rubbish. So because Tinubu is corrupt, it is okay for the PDP to be corrupt too?

@bolded, are you referring to the same Nigerians we get to see everyday?
The phcn officials?
The unserious civil servants?
The ridiculous police officers?
The youths who help to rig elections?



Oooo puh_lease!

Spot on. Very true, surprised this is coming from PDP. Even in churches, the corruption there is appalling.
Corruption has eaten deep into the Nigerian system.

Reminds me of you are a bigger idiot episode. PDP is for the 1st time saying the truth. They are all and all the same so what is the hope of the common man?

Methinks instead of PDP and ACN supporters tearing each other apart on nairaland on the streets and elsewhere its time for everyone to come together cos the truth is, these guys do not have our intrest at heart.
