According to the Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), national Caretaker Committee, despite the rot in the military, the politicians are the ones always accused of corruption.

“Go to the $2.1billion arms money. $2.1billion is about N700 billion. If you total the money that was said to have been diverted into politics, it’s not even up to five per cent of this money.
