A Whistle Blower, the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said that looters in the President Muhammadu Buhari Presidency, especially those being compensated for funding the election of the President, in 2015, now bury their own loots in the Villa, with Presidential protection.
He stated this in reaction to claims by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, that corrupt Nigerians, sequel to the anti-corruption drive of Buhari’s administration, now hide their loots in burial grounds, backyards, and forests.
In a statement he released on Monday night, through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, in response to Mohammed’s claim, Fayose wondered if it would be wrong for other supposed looters that do not have “Presidential protection like the All Progressives Congress, APC, looters, to bury their loots in burial grounds, probably for spiritual protection?”
Part of the statement read: “Nigerians can no longer be fooled with stage-managed loots recoveries, with no traceable owners (looters), especially when the loots are traceable to close Associates of the President and his cabinet members.
“Obviously, this so-called anti-corruption war has become a laughing stock, with N49 million found in Kaduna Airport, N448 million discovered in a shop at Victoria Island, Lagos, and N13 billion found in Ikoyi, Lagos, neither having owners, nor the identities of owners of the properties where the money was found known.
“It is either the money belongs to members of Buhari’s government, or it is being planted by the government to sustain its fake anti-corruption fight, in the minds of the people.”
The Governor further cautioned, that it was high time the present government stopped “stage-managed and fake anti-corruption war, aimed solely at opposition figures, especially Presidential hopefuls in the 2019 election.”
He added: “The narrative they push daily, is that only those in their government are saints, while other Nigerians, including those in the National Assembly, Judiciary, opposition Politicians, and the civil servants, are rogues, while only Buhari’s appointees are saints.
“To worsen matters, the cluelessness of the APC government in the last two years, has plunged the country into debt, without anything to show. The cabals in the Presidency, are also taking advantage of the President’s state of health, which is as a result of his age, to oppress Nigerians.
“Nigerians must therefore, keep their eyes on the ball, and not be carried away by the orchestrated distractions aimed at preventing them from seeing how the APC-led government has failed woefully.”
Fayose, went further to call on the international community, to hold Nigeria accountable on the recovered N13 billion cash, found in that Ikoyi, Lagos apartment, saying: “this must not be swept under the carpet.”
