Corruption Has No Political Party, No Religion And No Ethnic Group – Buhari by Quote: 10:11am On Aug 10, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari says he has noted
with regret, the allegation by members of the PDP
Senate Caucus that his administration is being
selective and partisan in its prosecution of the war
against corruption.
In a statement signed by Garba Shehu, SSA to the
President on Media and Publicity, he said the
allegation is “false, baseless and totally
unjustifiable.
“For the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever, we
affirm that having made his zero tolerance for
corruption clear to all and sundry, President
Muhammadu Buhari does not micro-manage or
interfere in the daily work of Nigeria’s anti-
corruption agencies.
“The wild allegation of bias and partisanship in the
fight against corruption shouldn’t have come
therefore from respected and distinguished
members of the Senate of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
“That claim belongs to the past and not the
present. Public officials and other leaders accused
of corruption by relevant agencies should plead
their innocence, not malice.
“President Buhari’s unwavering stance is that
whosoever is charged with corruption should face
the law irrespective of whether they are members
of the of All Progressives Congress (APC) , Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), or any other political
party.
“As far as the President is concerned, corruption
has no political party, no religion and no ethnic
group.
“It is important to remind the PDP Senate Caucus
and all Nigerians that right from 2003 when he
started campaigning for the Presidency of Nigeria,
President Buhari consistently promised to do his
best to curb corruption in the country.
“The President remains wholly committed to
fulfilling that promise and will not be deterred from
the relentless prosecution of the war against
corruption because he remains convinced that, as
he has said, ‘unless Nigeria kills corruption,
corruption will kill Nigeria'”.
He further stated that “the claim by the PDP
Senate caucus that President Buhari and his
administration are meddling in election petition
cases through the Department of State Services
(DSS) is also untrue.
“The duties of the DSS and other security agencies
are clearly spelt out in the laws establishing them.
The Federal Government led by President Buhari
does not give them instructions regarding their
daily operations.
“Election Tribunals and the Independent National
Electoral Commission in Rivers, Abia and Akwa-
Ibom States do not operate under the guidance of
the President.
“Any individual or group of individuals who think
that their legitimate political and civil rights are
infringed upon by the DSS or any institution is
advised to seek protection and redress under our
constitution and laws of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria instead of resorting to baseless allegations
against the Buhari Administration.
“On President Buhari’s watch, the rule of law, not
impunity, shall govern every aspect of life in
Nigeria and there will be no room for sentiments,
bias and corruption in the application of the laws of
the land.
“President Buhari also wishes to re-assure all
Nigerians that his administration will not
discriminate against individuals or groups in the
performance of its duties and that favours or
patronage will not be dispensed on the basis of
votes.
“The President remains committed to his Oath of
Office and the letters and spirit of the constitution.
“He calls on all Nigerians to join hands with him in
the fight against insecurity, corruption and
impunity in Nigeria so that we can have a country
that will prosper for the benefit of all of its citizens
and future generations of Nigerians”.
