Press Statement

Corruption: Media Persecution Unnecessary

Our attention has been drawn to a publication in a national daily wherein the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) reportedly stated that the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh raised an alarm on threats to his life because, according to them, he was being investigated on money laundering charges of transferring funds to key members of the PDP.

This office indeed finds it curious and diversionary that Chief Metuh’s public outcry against the federal government on threats to his life is now being replied by the EFCC with allegation of transferring money to party members.

Whilst we will not trend with the EFCC in their well-designed media trial, we find their action a perfect example of media persecution and mob lynching.

This agency has continued to flout the principles of rule of law and due process as obtained in other democracies where suspects are invited, investigated, prosecuted and punished accordingly if found guilty.

However, it must be communicated that being in control of apparatus of power does not permit any administration to engage in violations, harassments and media persecution all in an attempt to hang charges on select individuals especially on account of political leaning.

Nevertheless, on the issue of honesty, integrity and probity in the fight against corruption, it is imperative that the following issues already in the public domain be addressed;

1. Is it really true that Mr. President had collected his monetized statutory benefits from the government before reportedly collecting vehicles from the office of the National Security Adviser?

2. Is it correct to state that it is the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation that dealt with the statutory benefits of the President as former heads of state in line with the convention and norm of dealing with past heads of state?

3. Is the collection by Mr. President from the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) a bit out of line in receiving benefits from government?

Finally, while restating Chief Metuh’s commitment to the PDP’s total support for the on-going war against corruption, we reiterate the need to sustain the laudable democratic values that had been greatly enriched by the last administration.

WE STILL NEED THE NATIONAL TRUTH COMMISSION!!!

Is it true that you lot squandered and looted our treasury??


These asssholes didnt come out to address us on how they shared and bastardized our funds we entrusted with them. Look at these idiots talking about 'media trails' as if we don't deserve to know whats happening. I don't want to vex, its TGIF today, I won't let some common criminals spoil my day.








[size=14pt]Bloody wailers.[/size]

Ok cool

elections is over

economy is tanking


apc is chasing pdp

Nigerians are suffering

<b>National Truth Commission</b> Indeed...
Apc n Falsehood are like ewà goìn and agege bread.

Yhmmm

If u want to change the world ,do it while u are still a bachelor cos if married u can't even change a TV channel.
Listening to wife is like reading the terms and conditions of website, u understand nothing yet u agreed at d end.
Chess is d only game in the world that reflect the status of d husband, the poor king can only take a step at a time while d queen can do watever she likes.
All men are brave, horror movies don't scare em but just 5 missed call from wifey... Surely does.

back to the topic.
in reminisce voice ,won fe gboun soke, awon eyan olisah metuh. hustle royalty. this efcc movie na season film and I dey jejely watch on d couch.

WWW = Wailing Wailers Wail

braine:
Wailers.

These guys should stop playing to the gallery and go clear their names if they can.
NOBODY compelled them to exercise their PRIVILEGED discretion in any particular way

alll pdp wil do is to try cover up for criminals

Sincerely, PDP should just keep quiet and let Nigerians watch the APC comedy of errors unfold.

APC is a congregation of political scumbags like Elrufai, Rochas & Amaechi.

When he is arrested, he will know this is beyond media trial. But then, they should not wail witch hunt.

Wat is media trial ?

They stole our money , killing out soldiers making our brothers drop out of school and our sisters to do things against their wish.

They have never denied stealing. It is either they say it is for consultancy work or the amount is inflated or the typical "everybody is a thief"

Bunch of miscreants encouraged by poor ignorants who can not think on their own.

They will soon flood this page with crap supportingg corruption.

What I find laughable in this release is that it's Metuh issuing a press release,parring the issues raised by d efcc on his alleged corruption, while hiding the release under the signature of the deputy head of media.
Metuh,even if he has always been rated low,can do better than this.

Let shout hallelujah dat PDP did nt rule us in 2015

SO BUGGARI REALLY ATE THE YAM. BUHARI IS CORRUPT, HE BENEFITED FROM THE ARMS DEAL, HE SHOULD HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE HIMSELF AND CLEAR HIS NAME...

APC GOVT N EED TO DO MORE ABOUT THE ECONOMY OOOOOOOO>
