Corruption: Secondus, others will soon be docked — Presidency

The national chairman of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Prince Uche Secondus and all other politicians against whom the anti-corruption agencies had ongoing investigations will soon have their days in court, the Presidency said.

Reacting to a letter to the United Nations Secretary General by Secondus, the Presidency said the opposition party was trying to mislead the UN.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity Malam Garba Shehu, in a statement yesterday said “It is only a matter of time before the law catches up with them and makes them pay for the grief their mismanagement of past has caused and is causing Nigerians.”

The Presidency said the letter to the UN accusing President Muhammadu Buhari of several infractions confirms the PDP as a ‘bad loser’ desperate for another chance after being kicked out for failing the country.

Shehu described Secondus’ letter as preposterous and the still comical, while blasting the opposition party for accusing the Federal Government of destroying Nigeria’s democracy.

He alleged that Nigerians suffered because of “the poison sowed by the PDP”, saying the war against corruption, “for which many more politicians may soon be docked”, could not be misrepresented as an attack on human rights.
