The governing All Progressives Congress and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party on Sunday engaged in a war of words over the state of the economy as well as cases of alleged looting by the former President Goodluck Jonathan-led PDP administration.

In separate statements in Abuja, the APC and the PDP accused one another of economic mismanagement and of filtering away public finds.

In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the APC said the party has uncovered a list of new cases of the insane looting of the treasury by some officials of the Jonathan’s administration, saying the corruption mess that characterised the administration was so pervasive that until it is cleaned, Nigeria will not be able to actualise its potential.

The party said those who would rather give comfort to the looters by dismissing the media exposure of looting cases as mere hell-raising should realise that no sane person can be silent in the face of what was unfolding as the worst cases of brazen stealing of public funds in Nigeria’s history.

It recalled that on August 16, 2015, the party listed some instances of the breath-taking looting of the treasury by some officials of the immediate past administration.

The party said it was today bringing to light three more heart-rending cases to the attention of Nigerians. It listed the new cases as a mind-shattering $2.2bn (about N440bn) arms scandal; a $6.9m fraud by the Chief Security Officer to President Jonathan, committed under the guise of buying three mobile stages for the President; and a N2.5bn scam involving the rent of house boats.

The statement partly read, ‘’While those charged with handling these cases are finalising the details of bringing the suspects to justice, our immediate concern is the attempt by the PDP, under whose umbrella the looting took place, to blame the Buhari administration for the mess and then infer that things have been worse in Nigeria in the past three months under the APC-led Federal Government than in the 16 years under the PDP. This is totally provocative, shameless and uncharitable.

“They say we are yet to fulfil our campaign promises to Nigeria, but they have forgotten that if only the PDP/Jonathan administration had not stolen Nigeria blind, there would have been more than enough money to give school children in Nigeria, not just one but three meals a day and even pay N5, 000 to N50m to most vulnerable Nigerians, not just the N25m we promised in our manifesto.

“It is clear to all Nigerians that the debilitating impact of 16 years of the PDP’s misrule cannot be reversed in just three months.”

In response, the PDP insisted that the stealing of public funds has been going on under President Muhammadu Buhari’s watch.

It said that rather than hide their heads in shame for its abysmal performance in the last 90 days, leaders of the APC and the Presidency have continued to grope and look for excuses.

The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh,who said this in a statement in Abuja on Sunday, said discerning minds were appalled that instead of providing answers to issues of economic retrogression, the Presidency and the APC have resorted to wild allegations and insults in an attempt to cover their ineptitude and divert attention from their list of bogus promises which they have no intention to fulfil.

He said, “The PDP has severally expressed its support for a holistic fight against corruption and we have challenged the Federal Government to investigate and prosecute all corrupt persons irrespective of ethnic and political affiliations.

“We are therefore appalled that instead of getting serious with the challenges of governance, the APC is bent on inventing excuse for its crass incompetence to create and manage wealth, to the detriment of the nation.

“We challenge the APC and the Presidency to be honest enough to respond to issues instead of resorting to propaganda.

“Is the so-called mess clearing an answer for the adamant stance of the APC and President Buhari in running a government without a cabinet and a precise fiscal policy direction, a strange totalitarian approach that has taken serious toll on the economy and the polity in general?”

Welcome To The AntiCorruption fireworks 2015


God Bless Mr President, Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari gcfr

There is something i dont understand.. Is Jonathan the only ex president in Nigeria? Now i see APC isnt having problem with PDP itself.. Seems their problem is to useless Jonathan's regime.. Or someone should tell me why a former president who spent 8years controlling Nigeria's money (Obasanjo) is walking, dancing and talking freely in the country.. Haba President Buhari this is not the change you were talking about.

Affirmati Non Neganti Incumbit Probatio
the burden of proof is upon him who alleges - not on him who denies

The governing party (APC) must show Nigerians concrete and water-tight evidence to prove all these weighty allegations.
Until then, these allegations remain in the realm of imagination and speculation.

Much more will still be stolen...

If APC has a water tight prove/evidence they should charge those who stole to court and spare nigerians all this noise of how many billions that was stolen...


APC should remember court of people's opinion will not recover the loot, hence they should spare nigerians this unnecessary ''mouth action'' and charge those found wanting to court...IMO

calebo101:
APC has no case against Jonathan. They've tried and tried and tried but the fingers seem to point back at them.

Going to the press simply shows they have nothing to take to court. They should spare Nigerians the agony of failed promises and attempt to accomplish whatever they can do cos as it stands now na story we go hear till dem tire.

Am beginning to see this their ''go to the press tactics'' as an avenue to give nigerians excuses why they are failing to keep to their campaign promises...

No wonder they denied their 100 days promise and they are even blaming GEJ for their inability to fulfil the 5000 naira campaign promise, I hope they won't also blame GEJ's administration for not declaring their assets publicly as promised during campaign...SMH

Everyday i woke up to read FG uncovered rediscovers,recovers till date nothing to show after 3 months.Where are all the money they have been shouting they recovered? Just yesterday they said they couldn't fulfill their campaign promises to feed the school kids, because Jonathan administration has stolen all the money. What happened to the ones you recovered?

If you can investigate a case of 2002 under Ladoja of Oyo, why can't you investigate OBJ tenure of that same period. And nobody is even talking of Fashola and Amaechi forgery and criminal cases of 2014 with heavy evidence. Fashola, Amaechi and the likes should also follow, anything apart from this is a sentimental case. Buhari is not ready to fight corruption, all I see is selective punishment, pseudo and deceitful system.

APC so greedy even after winning election, they still act as opposition party. either fighting each other or fighting PDP.

Jonathan was a big fraud.

Kill them all

Buhari is making too many excuses....this guy shd just deliver a beg.....

APC style of deceiving the gullibles.

As we got nothing to show Nigerians for the wasted 100 Days, let us make small noise about GEJ on fraud and corruption.

The brainwashed will hail us.

APC, Party of professional liars and career looters.

The 3rd month has counted and its still the same Fraud, Probe, Stole, Launder in the media. Bubu need to be reminded that he wasn't election only to probe only, he should start commissioning projects that are beneficial to the masses. We need start seeing those accused appear before a court so that we'll know its not diarrhoea of the mouth that has been in action all the while.

This amount is unbelievably too small. Let us assume all monies from this amount is returned it means that the N5000.00 to 25 million poor undergraduate is certainly a mirage and a poor media propaganda since that amount cannot last for up to 6months because a yearly budget of the scheme will gulp more than N2 trillion.


My opinion.!

No, they should even probe up to tafawa balewa and Okotie eboh, because a criminal minded naira lander is so desperate to protect the past administration.

Sorry, but this Is part of the change I was promised.

Nigerian politics and pointless propaganda

Whenever there is pressure on buhari govt to get serious with governance you start seeing headlines of Jonathan stole money, Jonathan did this, Jonathan did that and the gullible ones are falling for it. Yes we know already Jonathan is corrupt but BABA GO SLOW can you get serious with governance and tell us how you have wasted the last 3 months chasing shadows. All economic indices are going red and buhari is still obsessed with Jonathan. We want clear economic direction and purposeful governance while pmb continue with his fantasy of Jonathan
