Sequel to the opposition’s call on the National Assembly to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari, APC UK has urged Nigerians to stand with the President in his fight against corruption.
The APC UK noted that the corrupt leadership of the past administration reduced many Nigerians hope and will to live.
Adenike Lucas, Press Secretary to APC UK, in a statement said, “As we now know, trillions of naira was embezzled by the appointees of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan. Money meant to fight Boko Haram insurgency, build roads, schools, hospitals, create employment and provide basic shelter for millions of Nigerians was carted away by the privileged few. A cabal of greedy opportunists from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) stole, shared and enjoyed what ought to have been used for the collective progress of Nigerians.
“Truly, corruption is a disease and under the PDP, Nigeria was terribly sick! Nigerians voted for change and treatment commenced since May 29th, with the swearing in of President Muhammadu Buhari, Professor Yemi Osinbajo and a team of APC Governors and NASS members.
“Thankfully, a new hope is alive for many Nigerians at home and abroad. The new sheriff (President Buhari) has made known, his deep intolerance for corruption.
“President Buhari, within his first 8 months has weeded out the corrupt agents who sucked the life out of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and other government agencies. Nigerians can attest to change even in their daily life with the reliable supply of electricity and improving territorial security.
“There is a new vigor and drive from the people because of the will of the President who has given top priorities to issues such as security, employment, power and education, unlike leaders of the past administration.
“APC UK draws attention to the Dasuki-Gate which many are presently aware of. The bewilderment at which the previous government spent the nation’s wealth is shocking and the rate at which it is set to cover up its track is a cause for alarm.
“We have a competent and honest President who is working for all Nigerians; this is one of the many reasons Mr. Uche Secondus call for the President to be impeached must be ignored.
“It is unfortunately that Mr. Secondus will ignore the very positive nature of the Nigerian budget which for the first time gave critical attention to Education (N369.6 billion), Defence (N294.5 billion), Health (N221.7 billion) Works, Power and Housing (N433.4 billion). It is clear now who is against Nigeria.
“APC UK urges all honest Nigerians to continue to stand with President Buhari as he gradually rebuilds the nation.”
