The leadership of the Labour Party on Wednesday asked President Muhammadu Buhari to adopt a holistic approach in his anti-corruption crusade by ensuring that the probe of past administrations extends to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, his deputy, Atiku Abubakar, Senate President Bukola Saraki, Bola Tinubu and former state governors.
Against the background of last Tuesday's pledge by President Buhari to commence probe of looters of the public fund, Labour Party reminded the president of the unfinished probe of the Halliburton corruption scandal in which prominent politicians were implicated.
Speaking in an interview with journalists in Abuja yesterday, the national chairman of LP, Abdulkadir Abdulsalam, said the fight against corruption must be backed up with proper blueprint that will ensure that highly placed persons did not evade justice.
He said that President Buhari must try to probe everybody who has been petitioned, adding that government should revisit the Halliburton issue to enable Nigerians know the true position of things.
"I want to refer to the statement of the President yesterday when he said that looters trials will begin very soon.
Firstly, I want to state that it is a welcome idea and development in our fight against corruption, but the fundamental question is; what are the pragmatic mechanism put in place by the Buhari administration and the APC to fight corruption. What is the blue print?”

Exactly what I've been. Saying that, Nigeria has experienced d grandest corruption under Obj, so. Whatever probe that is been conductedmust touch all these folks, OR else I may be forced to toll d path of d PDP that Buhari's probe is selective. Have you heard the New Nigerian National anthem?

ReplyDeleteIt is common sense to probe the immediate past government and cleanse the system so that the system will be able to function well and be more powerful than the bad bad people in it then the rest can be probed,it may not be this administration that will do that but it will pave the way.why didn't that labour party leader tell Jona to probe OJB and d rest nah, make una use una heads he was enjoying the corruption and now he's mad cos he's aware 1day he'll be probed too. Even if nah witch hunting it is good 4 the common man cos it'll make ppl in this administration to be cautious because same will be done to them but if they're clean then they've nothing to fear :)
