PDP urges Senate to submit ministerial nominees list to EFCC - Edoman - 07-30-2019 PDP urges Senate to submit ministerial nominees list to EFCC The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the leadership of the Senate to further give credibility to the ministerial screening by sending the names of the nominees to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for investigation. The party in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan today July 29th, said the screening exercise would confirm that many of the ministerial nominees who were former governors and ministers, wrecked their states and ministries. According to the party, the nomination of ''persons with corruption badges'' to serve in the federal cabinet has overtly established the fact that President Buhari not only ''condones but also explicitly promotes corruption, which has escalated into a state art since he assumed office in 2015.'' Quote:This is particularly as President Buhari had asserted that he would only nominate persons he knows “personally”. The PDP alleged that a former Minister who is currently being investigated for a N2.5 billion fraud case, is amongst the ministerial nominees. The party called on the Senate to note that some of the nominees have failed to defend their corruption allegations. Quote:This includes a particular former minister from the North Central, who had admitted to the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) of complicity in the N2.5 billion National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) fraud case, still pending in court. The PDP added that the inclusion of names of persons with cases of financial fraud, proves the insincerity of the Buhari-led government to fight corruption. Quote:Our party notes that the gathering of corrupt persons as cabinet ministers is a clear pointer to a scheme by the cabal in the Presidency to further entrench corruption in our nation. by Linda Ikeji at 29 |
