A group, Forward With Buhari (FWD) has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC), the police and other sister security agencies to beam their search light on the sources of campaign funds for the presidential election of the Peoples’ Democratic Party(PDP).

A statement on Friday in Abuja by the National Secretary of FWB, Dr. Kayode Ajulo, said the opposition party had recently called for the probing of the electoral processes, adding that the probe should be total and holistic.


According to Ajulo, “The opposition has also called for the probing into the election processes, which we believe is not out of place.

“However, probing must be wholesale and thorough. Probing must also involve the PDP with regard to the sources of its election finances and allied transactions.

“We have it on good authority that a bulk of the finances of the PDP was drawn from the stolen monies from our commonwealth– particularly of interest is the information that some of those who ran out of Nigeria were loitering in the neighbouring countries during the just concluded presidential election.

“This corrupt means of election funding must be captured in the imminent probing efforts of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and sister agencies.

“We shall not hesitate to forward our petitions to these bodies to ensure a thorough and comprehensive investigation into the cooked books of the PDP to expose the sources of funding of their clandestinely shrouded flamboyant campaign.

“While these processes are unfolding in the interest of the country that is fast progressing under President Buhari, all hands must be on deck to check excesses and democratic oversteps of the actors in PDP, which include its persistent plans to rubbish the majority of votes which Nigerians freely and fairly gave to President Buhari.”

On the attempts by PDP to discredit the just concluded presidential election, Ajulo chided the party and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, describing the bid to discredit the processes of election which conferred victory on President Muhammadu Buhari, as “sweeping up porous pontifications about the results of the Northern states where President Buhari enjoyed exceeding votes.”

He said, “When political participation is not done with some measure of fairness, it suffers any claim to patriotism.


“And this is exactly what the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) apparently suffers with regard to the just concluded presidential election.

“The opposition party has been relentless in its foul bid to discredit the processes of election which conferred victory on President Muhammadu Buhari, and in so doing, sweeping up porous pontifications about the results of the Northern states where President Buhari enjoyed exceeding votes.

“The big hypocrisy on the part of PDP is accepting that elections were flawless in states where it enjoyed swelling votes – particularly in the South East and South South regions – and calling corrupt the process that gave the ruling party an edge in some states within the Northern enclave.”
