Two members of the Board of Trustees, Peoples Democratic
Party, Chief Ebenezer Babatope and Chief Shuaib Oyedokun, have condemned
President Muhammadu Buhari‘s recent lamentation that corrupt
individuals in the country are waging a war against his anti corruption
war.
The PDP trustee members on Thursday, said that Buhari’s anti-corruption cannot succeed because it is selective and vindictive.
Oyedokun said, “If the President, who is fighting corruption,
suddenly discovers that people who have stolen are using the proceeds of
corruption to fight him, I think it is an admission of failure.
Corruption cannot be fought with corruption.
“The President must be able to fish out those fighting him with
corruption and ensure they are tried. There are allegations of
corruption among those that surround the President and his party
members.
“He (Buhari) won’t succeed because he is using corruption to fight
corruption. When someone loses a horse and he unknowingly tells the
person that stole the horse to help him find the horse, would the owner
ever find the horse?”
Also, Babatope a former minister of transportation, accused Buhari of
keeping silent on the allegations of corruption against members of his
political party.
“It behoves the President to point out those he says are using stolen
wealth to fight him. It is not enough to just state that some people
are using stolen wealth to fight him. He should mention names and make
sure they are prosecuted.
“The anti-corruption war will not succeed because we’ve not defined what corruption is and who and who are guilty of corruption.
“Some people in Buhari’s government are corrupt and he has not tried
them. His anti-corruption war is selective and vindictive. Let the
President bring out the corrupt elements in his party and use the same
yardstick he’s been using for other people on his party’s members.”
