The main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party has challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to, within 14 days, before the May 29 inauguration account for N14trn allegedly missing under his watch.
The PDP insisted that President Buhari must show his integrity by opening up his tenure for investigation, the same way his Presidency had demanded of other elected officials in the legislature and state governments across the country.
The party charged the chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay, to help the nation by advising the President to present his stewardship for investigation for alleged corruption, instead of his (Sagay) unnecessary fixation on court rulings on Rivers State.
The PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, claimed that the Buhari-led APC administration was going down in history as “the most corrupt administration ever.”
The PDP, therefore, demanded the Buhari Presidency to order an investigation into the whereabouts of N9tn ($25bn) allegedly stolen in his Ministry of Petroleum Resources, through under-hand oil contracts as detailed in a leaked NNPC memo.
“Unless Mr. President has something to hide, he should within the next 14 days, allow for an independent inquest into these allegations of corruption,” the statement declared.
