By Henry Umoru Prince Uche Secondus, Acting National Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Prince Uche SecondusABUJA—The acting National Chairman
of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, has said that
some of the 55 Nigerians identified by the Federal Government to have
stolen N1.34 trillion are presently part of Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet.
Secondus, in an interview, however, accused the All Progressives
Congress, APC-led administration of turning a blind eye to the misdeeds
of its supporters and faulted the handcuffing of PDP’s National
Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, during his recent court
appearances.
Secondus, who reiterated that PDP was not against Buhari’s anti-graft
war, stressed that it must not be selective, adding that the government
must adhere strictly to Rule of Law, adding that those involved, even
if they are in the present government, must be brought to book.
He said: “This involves both APC and PDP. Those involved are still in
the government of Muhammadu Buhari, serving as ministers, some holding
ranking positions even in security agencies.
“He should bring them to book; we are not against his fight against
corruption, but it should be holistic and there must be Rule of Law.
“Look at the handcuffs on PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief
Olisa Metuh. It is wicked and vindictive. Nigerians should see what is
happening in a democracy because Metuh is the spokesperson of opposition
party. Now, no one can speak freely.
“We are operating under threat and a Police state; our families now
live under threat and they are being asked questions at the airport.”
