Babangida, Abdulsalami, Obasanjo, Yar’Adua’s security votes should be Probed – PDP tells Buhari

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP on Sunday, said that if the All Progressives Congress, APC led Federal Government must succeed in its fight against corruption, it must probe all security votes of past Presidents and Heads of State from 1984 to date, just as it called for the establishment of a National Truth Commission.

According to the party, the security votes of past governments from incumbent Muhammadu Buhari, then as a Head of State; former Military President Ibrahim Babangida; General Abdulsalami Abubakar; former President Olusegun Obasanjo; and late Umaru Yar’Adua’s Adua, must be investigated.

The PDP also called on President Buhari to probe the expenditure of all military purchases and expenditure during the Bakassi wars, the fight against militancy in the Niger Delta, military interventions in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Somalia, Rwanda among others.

It also urged the APC led administration to probe the source of funding of the PDP and APC’s 2015 Presidential campaigns; the contributions from APC controlled state governors for their Presidential campaign and the beneficiaries thereof.

 In a statement on Sunday, by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the party noted that while it was in support of President Buhari’s fight against corruption, government must look into the past for Nigerians and the international community to take the crusade very seriously.
