The All Progressives Congress Elders Council in Osun State have implored
President-elect Muhhammadu Buhari not to spare anyone as he wages his war against corruption
The elders stated that Buhari must compel all those who have pilfered
from the nation’s coffers, to refund the monies into government’s purse
In a statement released in Osogbo on Monday by their chairman, Sola
Akinwumi, the APC elders advised that theanti-corruption war must be fair and all-encompassing
The statement read: “General Buhari must wage total, unsparing and
forensic war against the cancer of corruption which has eaten deep into the public and private facets of life in
Nigeria.”
“Nigeria’s incoming president must ensure that all those who have
contributed to the economic woes of Nigerians through various acts of sabotage, fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation,
misapplication, white elephant projects and outright stealing of public funds must not only account for but also
refund the proceeds into the coffers.”
“We call for a forensic anti-corruption war using constitutional and
lawful mechanisms of the state to enforce the existing statutes without recognising any sacred cows.
“Buhari must ensure that the war covers both the APC and the PDP and
must be pursued to logical conclusion in Nigeria’s public life
This is the only way to justify the mandate Nigerians, against all odds
erected on their ways, gave to our party on March 28, 2015.”
“Decadence, corruption and arrogance of power set in the ruling party
which began when the prediction of ruling Nigeria for 60 years became their
song
We have never governed at the federal level but now we are there..
As Nigerians have trusted us with the mandate for the management of
federal power, we require high level of carefulness, tact, wisdom and humanity
to justify the confidence reposed in the All Progressives Congress across the
country."
