A member of the Nigerian Senators’ Forum, Yisa Braimoh, has asked former Military Head of State and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari, to stop accusing the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of institutionalising corruption in Nigeria.

Braimoh, who represented Edo North from 2007 to 2011 in a statement issued on Sunday, declared that Buhari was not a saint as far as corruption was concerned.

According to him, Buhari’s claim that PDP institutionalised corruption in Nigeria is incorrect, stressing that corruption is not about political platforms.

The statement reads, “General Buhari missed the point when he accused PDP of institutionalising corruption in Nigeria; PDP did not institutionalise corruption; rather, successive PDP administrations at the federal level have been fighting corruption scourge, which include individual politicians in public and private offices, since the military era.

“I am not surprised that Buhari would re-echo the opposition’s mantra whenever it is convenient to demonise the PDP even when it is quite clear that those politicians in the PDP who used their offices to corruptly enrich themselves are today in the same party with him.

“It is indeed paradoxical that Buhari, who presents himself to the world as one who hates corruption, would gladly co-habit with corrupt former Ministers, serving and former Governors in the APC, in a bid to wrestle power from President Goodluck Jonathan.

“Or can he vouch for the integrity of those questionable characters around him in the APC? If he can do so, he will sadly be putting his integrity to question and if he cannot vouch for their integrity, why would he be in bed with them? Is it for the sake of using them to achieve his quest for presidential power? is that not in itself dubious and corrupt?”, he asked.

Braimoh asserted that while he would not want to question the integrity of Buhari himself while in the saddle as Head of State, he believed that he (Buhari) is not a saint “as saints can only be found in heaven.”

“But to present himself as incorruptible while the rest of us are villainous politicians and individuals does not portray him as humble; and arrogance is corruption of the mind,” he said.

berem: As long as he has no proof that Buhari is or was a corrupt person, he should shut the hell up and stop trying to be relevant by insulting Buhari. Bloody foool!!!!

NO LONG TIN: A member of the Nigerian Senators’ Forum, Yisa

HNosegbe: Actually Buhari was wrong in saying that the PDP institutionalised corruption.

That "honour" undoubtedly goes to IBB's ruinous 8-year regime.

kingoflag: He never accused Buhari of corruption tho. He only said Buhari's party members should be in the mold of Jesus, Muhammed, Moses, John the Baptist, Mahatma Grand and Mother Theresa...as if such impeccable characters can be found in Nigeria.


You see, my friend, truth is people like this Mr.Braimoh think Nigerians are dumb, foooolish, ignorant and stupid. If they're not asking why APC is not fielding the likes of Utomi or Ribadu as Pres.Candidates (knowing neither stands a snowball's chance in hell of winning again JOnacrook) they're criticizing him for choosing a Preacher as is running mate. Smh and you'll see some(as evidenced by the comments in this thread) supporting this obvious, thieving looney.

kingoflag: Mr.Braimoh, it's is clear ure jittery about a Buhari Presidency. He shouldn't move with crooks like Tinubu and Co, so what should he do? Try to campaign with meagre resources and lose again? Nah homie, if u can't beat Em, join em, then beat the shiyyt outta them; that is the mantra. Dont worry, in less than a year and a half you'll understand.

Donmams:
And which party does IBB belong to? Care to elaborate? Idiotic mumu.

HNosegbe:

Actually that title belongs to you, for not knowing that there were no political parties when IBB ran the affairs of this country.

sagombugo: Before opening the thread,I was hoping to read a scandal attached to the person of Gen Buhari only to be confronted with the same old,badly rehashed,well worn out rhetorics propaganda of questioning what Buhar is doing with some perceived corrupt APC members

And I ask again,are people now deemed corrupt based on perception,unsubstantiated and unproved allegation? Or rather than the Government to sharpen its Anti-corruption war to do a sendfortth for every corrupt individual so that saying someone is corrupt will be undoubtable
