The Presidency has
advised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stop distracting President
Muhammadu Buhari with frivolous and unfounded allegations of selectively waging
war against corruption.
Reacting to a PDP
allegation by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, the Senior
Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, said that contrary
to the PDP allegations, President Buhari has not and would not shield any All
Progressives Congress (APC) government official from facing prosecution for
corruption.
The Presidential Spokesman
explained that since president Buhari came into office, he has never told the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) not to touch any APC governor
because they belong to the same party.
The Senior Special Assistant
challenged Mr. Metuh to produce any evidence or instance when President Buhari
interfered in the activities of the EFCC by telling them who to prosecute and
who to shield from prosecution.
Malam Garba Shehu
advised Metuh to either come forward with evidence, or apologize to Nigerians
for willfully propagating falsehoods in order to gain cheap publicity or public
sympathy.
