President Muhammadu Buhari has been accused by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of using his anti-corruption fight to witch hunt members of the opposition PDP. PDP claims Buhari’s fight against corruption is a ploy to silence the opposition. Looking at this allegation, INFORMATION NIGERIA has put together 4 reasons why even if the allegation is true, Buhari should carry on anyways…
– The fight against corruption no matter whom it affects must start from someone. Looters shouldn’t be allowed to go free just because they are members of the opposition and because critics will see it as witch hunting.
– Buhari will do all he can to ensure he doesn’t use public funds for personal purposes, because the opposition will also come after him when he leaves office.
– Fighting this anti-corruption war means Buhari has set a precedence for prosecuting looters which will be copied by administrations after him.
– The opposition PDP also has the opportunity to fish out corrupt APC officials and report them to the EFCC, so they can be equally prosecute.
Do you agree???
