President Buhari during a dialogue with the interviewer magazine has a argued that his fight against corruption is total. It does not exclude any, not even his APC members and godfathers.
According to him, there is no “sacred cow”. If any member of APC or my supporters is found guilty in any act of corruption, he(she) will answer for their sins.
On the question of why he seems to be going after PDP party members and prosecuting them for corruption. He replied that it appears so because PDP had been in power for the past 16 years hence it is rather logical to begin from there.
In his words:
“Do you just grab people along the road and take them off to court for trial just because you want to create a semblance of balance?
First, there has to be an accusation which must be properly investigated, and when a prima facie case has been built, you prosecute.
If any of my backers or party (APC) members has anything established against them, let’s see whether I will shield anyone from prosecution.
There seems to be a preponderance of the People Democratic Party members standing trial because they had been in power for 16 years, they had access to the public treasury and abused the trust reposed in them.
You can be assured that anybody caught in corruption will answer for it irrespective of party, tribe or religion.”
