The People's Democratic Party, PDP, has called for the suspension of the
Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation ,
NNPC, Maikanti Baru.
n a statement on Thursday by its spokesperson, Dayo Adeyeye, PDP said it
expected the president to have reacted and also prove himself as a
corruption fighter by allowing one of his own to be investigated.
“As a political party, we expect that the President, who prides himself
as an indefatigable corruption fighter, would for once try to live above
board, by genuinely allowing one of his own, accused of corruption, get
properly investigated and prosecuted as a show of his impartiality in
the war against corruption,” the party stated
“He should do this to correct the open impression Nigerians have about
his so called anti-corruption war; that it’s just a tool of persecution
of perceived enemies.
“We view the allegations levelled against Baru by Kachikwu as too grave
to be swept under the carpet and we insist that the NNPC GMD must be
treated like an accused who should not have the opportunity to influence
investigation into his alleged misdeeds.
“In this light, we demand an immediate suspension of the NNPC GMD so
that proper investigation can be carried out by the relevant
anti-corruption agencies.
