The spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos state, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, has called on Senator Musiliu Obanikoro and his sons to come back to Nigeria and defend themselves.

Igbokwe said “I advise the Obanikoro family to come back and prove that they have nothing to do with these allegations. They must come to clear their family name. It is important that they do this because the money that we are talking about is too huge for them to just brush aside.

“Issuing statements is not enough especially when there is evidence that cannot be ignored. So, they better come back because if they don’t, America, which has promised to support us, will extradite them.”

Obanikoro, former Minister of State for Defence, has been accused of helping Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti to rig the elections that brought him into power.

Two of the former minister’s sons, Gbolahan and Babajide, have also been indicted in the ongoing investigation into the $2.1b arms purchase scam.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), alleged that Sylvan McNamara Limited, a company allegedly owned by Obanikoro’s sons, got part of the $2.1b arms fund.

Funny you. Real funny.

As much as we want to see all these rogues face the wrath of the law, can't APC & whoever cares to listen to sound judgement leave the media alone, forget this ranting everywhere & commence well-co-ordinated legal actions against them?

Make this anticorruption fight no end up in just media ranting ooo...

...& APC needs to do more in building a self-sustaining anticorruption battle that even when PMB leaves, people will begin to practice it without being co-erced

What will happen if they make other efforts to contact him best besides talking to journalists about it.

People say the Govt is encouraging media trials that they should prosecute all these looters already. I beg to differ. Why wouldn't the press carry such high profile stories? They are what makes the news. So the press should ignore high profile corruption cases when its what makes them remain in business. NEWS! and why so people say the Govt should prosecute those found wanting when we have laws brats my imagination. Its this same people that will start shouting impunity and dictatorship of such happens. Please lets be very objective here, when politicians get investigated ir arrested they make news CUs its news.
