Presidency Blames PDP For Magu’s ‘Misdeeds’

The revelations from the interrogation of the erstwhile chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu reflect the decadence that was left over by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the presidency said on Tuesday.

The president’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, made the statement on Tuesday when he fielded questions from State House correspondents in Abuja.

The presidential aide was speaking with reporters on some issues raised by the opposition PDP since the beginning of the interrogation of Magu.

Shehu said the volume and reach of the anti-corruption crusade had so far, reflected what the PDP left behind.

“Corruption became so normalized by the PDP that they had difficulty defining what is corruption and theft,” he stated.

The spokesman lauded Buhari’s determination to end corruption in Nigeria.

“The large number of cases, new and old, may appear to be daunting but PDP, which is now heckling the president has forgotten that the party bequeathed this to the current administration.

”They had large number of cases they did not investigate and prosecute.”

Shehu also warned the PDP to allow the process of investigation and prosecution to work, instead of being preemptive about ongoing cases and unduly agitating the public.

He expressed his optimism that the judiciary would deal with the cases swiftly and satisfactorily in a manner that would deter other would-be offenders.

“The current administration is handling many of the cases that the PDP should have dealt with and the new ones as they arise,” Shehu said.
