DAURA’s ‘N21bn’: Your saintly posture has come to a disgraceful end, PDP tells Buhari, APC

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has reacted to the reported discovery of N21 billion, thousands of permanent voters cards and guns at the residence of the dismissed former Director General of the Department of State Services, DSS, Lawal Daura, concluding that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government and the All Progressives Congress’ saintly posture has come to a disgraceful end.

The party also challenged the Federal Government and the APC to break their silence and speak up about the discovery.

The party insisted that the discovery has not only exposed the hypocrisy of the Presidency, but has also stripped it of all integrity.

The party stated these in a press statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan.

The statement reads in part: “The world can now see that the PDP has not been raising a false alarm when it alerts that the Buhari Presidency has been using its much hyped fight against corruption and sustained harassment of opposition as a cover to divert public attention from the humongous stealing going on under President Buhari’s official cover.

“Nigerians have now seen that while the Buhari Presidency and the APC have been hounding and harassing opposition members with trumped-up corruption charges to create an impression of integrity and fight against corruption, their agents have been busy frittering away, and warehousing trillions of naira, ostensibly for their 2019 re-election and service their wasteful lifestyles, while millions of compatriots wallow in abject poverty across the nation.

“Today, the sneaky ways of this Presidency have further been exposed and it must not in any way seek to disown the sacked DSS DG as Nigerians already know that he was merely one out of the numerous agents being used by the APC and Presidency cabal in their nefarious activities, including warehousing money, fake PVCs and weapons to be unleashed during the 2019 elections.

“What the APC and the Buhari Presidency should note is the eternal reality that though the truth may be suppressed for a while, it always has a way of showing itself to light at the end.”
