The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as spine-chilling and mind-boggling the massive looting of the nation’s treasury by public officials, saying nothing but the total recovery of the funds will be acceptable to all patriotic Nigerians.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said anyone who attempts, either by deeds or words, to sabotage the recovery efforts is not a patriot and deserves nothing but public opprobrium.



It therefore thanked Nigerians for their overwhelming support for the Buhari Administration in its tough but important task of tracing and recovering the loots, while also ensuring that the looters face justice.

”It is absolutely gratifying that Nigerians are vehemently opposed to the few who would rather have the government of the day turn a blind eye to the looted funds and, in their words, carry on with the process of governance.

”Truly, what sort of governance can go on if the billions of Naira in a few hands are not recovered? In the first instance, the government needs every kobo of the funds it can muster to bring about the change it has promised Nigerians. Secondly, leaving such hair-raising funds in the hands of the few looters is dangerous, because they can use the funds to destabilize any government. In fact, no one will be surprised if the looters use their dirty funds to sponsor public demonstrations against the government’s determination to recover the funds.

”Thirdly, allowing those who privatized the commonwealth to get away is offering a thumbs-up for looting. No responsible government will do that,” APC said.

The party said that already, the looters have embarked on a relentless and an increasingly-bold campaign to discredit the government of the day and sabotage the funds’ recovery process, using newspaper columnists, ‘talking heads’ and otherwise respectable opinion leaders.

”They and their paid hirelings have tried to employ sophistry to muddle the waters, but Nigerians are much wiser, and will not succumb to the dirty antics of the looters’ megaphones,” it said.

APC said it is necessary to remind Nigerians of the kind of massive looting of the treasury that took place in the past few years, so they can better appreciate the seriousness of the issue at stake. It therefore listed some instances of the looting as follows:

– 3.8 trillion Naira out of the 8.1 trillion Naira earned from crude oil (2012-2015) withheld by NNPC

– 2.1 billion US dollars from Excess Crude Account unaccounted for

– Department of Petroleum Resources’ unremitted 109.7 billion Naira royalty from oil firms

– 6 billion US dollars allegedly looted by some Ministers of the last Administration

– 160 million barrels of crude worth 13.9 billion US dollars lost between 2009 and 2012

– 15 million US dollars from botched arms deal yet to be returned to Nigeria

​- 13 billion US dollars​ in NLNG dividends mostly unaccounted for

​- 30 billion Naira rice waiver​

​- 183 billion naira​ unaccounted for at the NDDC

​ The party said the listed ‘missing’ funds constituted just a tip of the iceberg since they are mostly from a few sectors of the economy, mostly the oil sector, and were discovered even before the forensic audit now being undertaken in some key areas.

”The level of looting that went on in other sectors is better imagined, hence the need for all Nigerians to rally around the Buhari Administration to recover the loots, bring the looters to justice and to put in place measures to prevent such looting in the future,” it said.

And there are people that wanted Goodluck Jonathan to continue ruling.

This is the oil sector only.

We have not touched CBN,FCT,WORKS and Housing,Aviation and a host of others. This is really sad, as i see no reason why Nigerian's struggle, i see no reason why there are thousands of unemployed graduates.

PDP is the definition of man's inhumanity to another.

Let go then

IBB ,obasanjo,Tinubu and all must also be probed..
..until then. Everyone of your move is a scam.

They should add the millions of Naira approved by Jonathan for the purchase of Kerosene stoves just few days to the end of his tenure.

Add tinubu and the tax company in lagos state to it.

Billions Billions Billions........ ahh ahh

I am glad to be among sane Nigerians that swept away cluelessness from Aso rock.

This deserves frontage lalasticlala (hope I spelt it rightly)

They splashed figured on the newspapers without recourse to litigious investigations and you swallow it hook, line and sinker. You are just the right citizen needed in this new SS media run government
FYI: Hillary Clinton was accused of leaking classified information through her emails. The FBI just took hold of her emails to peruse through for their investigations. She has not been tried by the media yet. The government didn't rush to try her, neither did her opposition rush to declare her guilt. Everyone is waiting for the proper thing to be done first before ascertaining if she is guilty or not. That is the way a system is run, not this media show we are witnessing called a government

I will start taking Buhari serious when I see handcuffs of the hands of OBJ, Tinubu, Atiku. There're many of them that should be in jail, but these 3 are known thieves nationwide.

those are some of the reasons listed above br'er

Nonsense

Looting was completely deregulated during Jonathan's time.

They should just leave Buhari alone to do his work, I don't trust any of those party guys

Noooo bros.Not only them,Also all d pple who stole meat from soup pots,money from their parents purses.Ode!.Y did GEJ probed d previous govt?Oponu.

U can say that again.Corruption was just like a common way of life during GEJ's administration.

Will be unfair to probe only GEJ
IBB made it the norm.
But anyhow sha. If GEJ stole and is found guilty then he should pay the price. Too many Nigerians die because of lack of funds for health and infrastructure

None should be ignored. None @ all. Even the smallest case should be investigated and if found to be true, the perpetrator punished accordingly. No one is above the law..... PDP folks should stop wailing about Amaechi and Tinubu. Why not right a petition backed by facts to the different anti-corruption bodies ?

You defintely can't support theft and corruption of this magnitude as a Nigerian and expect God to look at you with the eyes of mercy. God will never allow political thieves to rest. People have died as a result of poor medics, hunger and deisease attributed to poverty, which is traced to deprivation of basic needs of life as a result of these looting. Am so upset!

Generalkorex:
Add tinubu and the tax company in lagos state to it.

What your corrupt master GEJ couldn't do for 6yrs?

A very short sentence yet you can't even write correctly. I wonder what would have happened if you were required to write a lengthy sentence!! Now who is the real OPONU here? I know you only had access to Islamic education under a tree, but you can at least spare us your crass ignorance by keeping quiet oga!

Whether you wailers like it or not, goat must vomit the Yam...

There are petitions already in the Efcc on the frog eyed chicken of ubima and his Lagos counterpart, infact the presidency was copied but till date, no action on it , not even an invitation! You mean you didn't know?
Amaechi's naive defense to the petition against him was to rush to the press to say "everyone who knows me know i don't like money"! Bros you mean you are not aware of this??
And until we see these annointed sons in Buharis jail, everything else is witch-hunting! Now i hope i have made myself clear enough oga?

Apc Fulfill ur campaign promises. Just wasting peoples time babbling like a woman

So, won't there be other investigations before invitation?(if really such a petition was made). Who made d petition? When was it made? Are they facts or just rants premised on the assumption of their corruption?
