Amaechi’s ‘Confession Of Quiet Stealing’ Has Vindicated PDP – Ologbondiyan
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that claims, Rotimi Amaechi, about quiet stealing under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) has vindicated its stand that the APC is a haven of thieves and treasury looters.
The PDP asserted that the confession also further confirmed that the Buhari-led APC administration has been providing official cover for corrupt officials, who have turned government agencies to cash cows and Automated Teller Machines (ATM) for themselves, their cronies, family members and mistresses.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that Amaechi, Minister of Transportation had in a recent interview asserted that while stealing may be going on quietly in the current administration that it was nothing like the alleged boisterous stealing during the PDP era.
Responding, the PDP through its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan while noting that the APC has looted Nigeria into two recessions, said:
“The situation as presented by Amaechi shows that ‘quiet stealing’ is a policy of the APC administration. This explains why the administration is heavy on propaganda and has failed to prosecute its officials and APC leaders openly indicted for corruption, but only resort to “easing out” such thieves with a pat on the wrist.
“The confession by Amaechi exposes why the APC administration has failed to recover the over N25 trillion naira reportedly stolen by APC leaders in various government agencies.
“Nigerians now have a clearer picture on how the N9.3 trillion as detailed in the reported NNPC memo was stolen, how over N2 trillion was allegedly siphoned under fraudulent subsidy regime as well as how the N1.1 worth of crude oil was reportedly stolen using 18 unregistered vessels.
Amaechi’s confession has also shed more light on the circumstance behind the alleged stealing of N165 billion in the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) under his ministerial purview, the N1.5 trillion and $9.5 million reportedly stolen from Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), the $65 million (N31 billion) frittered from the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) as well as the N90 billion looted from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), among others.
“The APC has looted our nation into two excruciating economic recessions in a space of six years, and turned our nation into the poverty capital of the world, where over 83 million citizens live in abject impoverishment and unable to afford basic necessities of life.”
