The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties, CNPP, has
vowed to resist any plot by President Muhammadu Buhari, to shield the
Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, from facing prosecution, over the huge
sums of money that was allegedly recovered from his residence, in Lagos.
This disclosure was
made in a statement that was signed by the Secretary General of the CNPP, Willy
Ezugwu.
It warned that it will
mobilise its members, well-meaning Nigerians, and civil society groups, to
resist any cover up of the real owner of the stashed cash, dismissing the
claims that the money belongs to the National Intelligence Agency, NIA.
“We’re worried that the current anti-graft war is becoming a
show as each day passes. It is more worrisome when you begin to hear that a
government security agency, the NIA, which is not a revenue generating organ of
the Federal Government, is laying claim to the recovered money.
“The NIA’s angle to the controversy, is nothing but a deliberate
plot by the Federal Government, to cover up the true identity of the looter.
“How can the NIA claim to own N13 billion cash stashed in a
private residential apartment; NIA has no office in Lagos?”
“The war against corruption is now being exposed for what it
truly is on a daily basis; a lopsided fight against perceived enemies of the
present administration, while all members of the ruling party are shielded from
prosecution.
