The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),has condemned the claim by President Muhammadu Buhari in his Easter message, that he has worked hard to meet the expectations of Nigerians in the last two years. The PDP said the present administration had made living more difficult for Nigerians, as the economy had worsened from a single digit inflation rate to the current 17. 26 per cent.
The party while reacting to the controversy trailing the over $43 million found in a house in Ikoyi, Lagos, condemned the reported claim of the NIA that it owned the huge amount in various denominations, hidden in a private residence.
The party noted that the claim by the security agency that it owned such funds in a private house was “a bad comedy” by the ruling party.has charged the Nigeria Intelligence Agency (NIA) and other security agencies in the nation to desist from partisan politics.
The National Publicity Secretary, (PDP- NCC), in Abuja, Sunday Prince Dayo Adeyeye, said “The latest drama in town is the circus show of the discovery of huge sums of money of various currencies and denominations on daily basis without any trace of the owners.
According to him, the most absurd of this charade is the macabre dance on the so-called $43,449,947, £27,800 and N23,218,000 purportedly recovered at an apartment in Osborne Street, Ikoyi, Lagos.
Adeyeye said that it has also been revealed that part of that proceeds was used by Amaechi to prosecute the campaigns of the APC in 2015.
“The claim by the Director-General of the Nigeria Intelligence Agency (NIA) that the agency owns the stolen money “found” in a private residence is another bad comedy by this failed APC Administration.
“The Government is at the crossroad as the Whistle-blower and the EFCC are now shying away from telling Nigerians who owned the monies because undeniable evidence links the monies to the proceeds from the sale of Turbines by the former Governor of Rivers State Rotimi Amaechi.
