The All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned against attempts to truncate the fight against corruption under any guise, while also expressing support for President Muhammadu Buhari’s determination to end corruption. In a statement in Lagos yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party appealed to Nigerians, especially opinion leaders, to ensure that their actions and utterances do not give comfort to those who have looted the commonwealth. ‘’Our party promised Nigerians change, but the change we promised and which Nigerians desire so much cannot be achieved if we allow the resources that belong to Nigerians to be appropriated by a few. How do we upgrade our decayed infrastructure and provide jobs for our people when the money meant for that has been squirelled away by a few? ‘’President Buhari has promised to break the vicious cycle of corruption that has held Nigeria down. How can he do that if he allows those who have looted the treasury to escape justice, and then use their ill-gotten wealth to fight the government? How can he do that if he turns a blind eye to the monumental corruption in all sectors. ‘’We know that fighting corruption in a society where the cankerworm has eaten deep into its fabric will not be easy. We know that corruption will always fight back. But there is no other choice than to confront and destroy this monster once and for all, lest it destroys Nigeria,’’ it said. APC said the President’s sincerity of purpose could be seen from his statement that any of his party members, who is found to be corrupt, would not escape justice. ‘’Therefore, those who are shouting themselves hoarse by saying the Buhari Administration’s fight against corruption is selective or is a distraction are only seeking to sabotage the epic battle. ‘’If they have any case of corruption against any member of the APC, they should forward their evidence to the appropriate anti- corruption agency. But to take to the airwaves and the pages of newspaper to use their paid agents to launch a campaign against the anti- graft fight is to fight against the existence and survival of Nigeria. ‘’The danger in truncating the fight against corruption is that it will consign Nigeria to poverty, insecurity and unemployment in perpetuity. That is why we are restating our unalloyed support for the President, and urging him not to be deterred or distracted by those hiding under sophistry to weaken the fight,’’ the party said. It said those who are engaging in nitpicking on the anti-corruption fight are simply implementing a well-oiled plan to make enough noise by accusing the Buhari administration of being selective, and hope to create enough confusion and distraction to hoodwink unsuspecting Nigerians. ‘’We are glad that many Nigerians have lent their support to the government’s fight against corruption, going by their interventions on the social media, which has now become a people’s parliament of sorts, and other fora. We urge them not to relent in their support, irrespective of the antics of the naysayers,’’ APC said.

When i read peoples comment online when ever Buhari mention probe i will just start to weep... Does it mean that our youth still want this country to remain in a spot? Take a look at china and their stance on corruption, if you still public funds you stand a chance of being sentence to death but in Nigeria we celebrate them, defend them online.

So we should not encourage Tinubu

APC = PDP - PMB

Corrup people who steal the commonwealth of Nigerians are the worst citizens and are the poorest. When you steal, u will never be rich. You will remain poor for the rest of your life. God will purnish those who embezzle what they don't need even for their generations yet born when many Nigerians are dying. People defending them here are less of a human.

To ur question concerning youth, the answer is no, but to probe only me when you have people like Oshiomhole who is about to obtain loans what's 75m and will be leaving office within one year,then you have to explain what that means. When you have Tinubu and Amaechi as your right hand men but busy probing me , then i have right to feel you are W/Hunting me.

SouthernBreeze to APC: Don't encourage Ameachi and Tinubu
