Transmit ministerial list to EFCC
ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Monday,
counselled the Senate to accord some credibility to the
ongoing ministerial screening by sending the names of the
nominees to the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, for its input.
Ministerial List
The party in a statement signed by its image maker, Kola
Ologbondiyan said the screening exercise must have
enabled the lawmakers to find out that many of the
nominees presented to it by President Muhammadu Buhari
include individuals, “who as former governors and
ministers, wrecked their states and ministries and have
serious allegations of corruption, abuse of office and
stealing of public funds hanging on their necks.”
According to the statement, “the nomination of persons
with corruption badges to serve in the federal cabinet has
overtly established the fact that President Buhari not only
condones but also explicitly promotes corruption, which has
escalated into a state art since he assumed office in 2015,”
given that the first citizen once pledged to nominate only
those he knew personally.
The statement further read: “It speaks volumes that the
persons Mr. President “personally” knows and has
nominated as ministers include such individuals that have
been publicly indicted and known to be answering questions
as accomplices in on-going corruption cases in various
courts.
“The PDP calls on the Senate to note that some of the
nominees have failed to defend their corruption allegations.
This includes a particular former minister from the North
Central, who had admitted to the Independent Corrupt
Practices and other related offences Commission, ICPC, of
complicity in the N2.5 billion National Broadcasting
Commission, NBC, fraud case, still pending in court.
“This is in addition to certain nominees who, as state
governors, swindled their states, fleeced workers and
committed several financial crimes for which they should
rather be standing trial, instead of being rewarded with
official protection as ministers.

“The PDP also invites the Senate to note that President
Buhari has not demonstrated any commitment to the fight
against corruption and for that reason, Nigerians now look
up to the National Assembly to protect the nation from the
excesses of the Buhari Presidency.”

If Buhari drop Akpabio now, PDP will claim he has been used and dumped , Buhari hates Southerners,but now he is nominated PDP suddenly remembers that he is having corruption case against him, same case he would have called witch-hunting had it been he was still in PDP

This is a vague, blanket allegation. If PDP has any concrete evidence of corruption against any of the people nominated, it knows how to foward a petition to the EFCC.

Akpabio name is synonymous with...una get the answer!
Where are the Sai Bs?
Have they gone into oblivion?

Corruption doesn't matter anymore
The corruption war was fake from the start

They must do their job na, oppose the government of the day... Opposition party ni....

Years back, they were in office behaving like PAs to lucifer

Buhari ,Nigerian politicians are synonymous ti corruption. I doubt the efficacy of those nominees. I don't it a screening exercise neither do I believe the NASS are doing anything in that regard. The only thing I see is show off. The nominees only came to show their beautiful faces with their agbadas' and babarigas'. I weep for this country.

FP for the first time this month

instead of say make these ones go dey strategise on 2023 election starting with amendment on their goof on Server Scam, dem dey here dey pinpoint corrupt ministers. e get one 'single' nominee for nigeria wey no go dey corrupt or never commit crime at one point in time?

though I'm not a politician and love Mr president personally (Buhari) don't misquote me. but what about the aligation on corrupt cases against the people around him? i pray that he is able to take us to the promised NEXT LEVEL.

PDP should not waste their time.......EFCC does not go after people in APC ......Because as long as You are in APC You are safe, No matter how Corrupt You are...

You think that Bubu is fighting corruption, he is indirectly enriching his APC(saints)

As was done with Goatluck amd Obasanjo nominees. Telll the PDP rogues that I said their mothers are mad. Iyalaya won ti ya were. They should go and bring Saraki to disqualify the Ministers nah.

Not a single line depicting intelligence in any of these quotes... ramblings from GEJ nominees to seeking evidence on known looters despite some nominee cases already in Efcc net.. one was even talking about 2023, how does that affect a 2019 ministerial list?

No doubt, you didn't read the OP.
