BREAKING: Buhari won’t resign over NDDC,NSITF, EFCC probes – FG

The Federal Government has said President Muhammadu Buhari will not resign over alleged cases of corruption in Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund(NSITF) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

It described the call for the resignation of Buhari as infantile.

It also said the anti-graft war is not waning and the government will not spare anyone implicated in corrupt practices.

It said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and others celebrating alleged cases of corruption in some Ministries, Departments and Agencies(MDAs).

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alh. Lai Mohammed made the government’s positions known at a briefing in Abuja.

He said those thinking the anti-corruption war is dying are engaging in wishful thinking.

He said: “You are all aware, Nigerians have recently been inundated with allegations of monumental corruption in a number of government agencies, including the NDDC, NSITF and the anti-corruption agency,
EFCC.

” Many, especially naysayers, have misinterpreted these developments as a sign that the Administration’s fight against
corruption is waning.

“In fact, the main opposition PDP has latched on to the developments to call for the resignation of Mr. President, a call that is nothing but infantile!

“Let me state here and now that the fight against corruption, a cardinal programme of this Administration, is alive and well.

“President Muhammadu Buhari, the African Union’s Anti-Corruption Champion, who also has an impeccable reputation globally, remains the driver of the fight and no one, not the least the PDP under whose
watch Nigeria was looted dry, can taint his image or reverse the gains of the fight.

“Anyone who disagrees that the anti-corruption fight is alive and well is free to dare us.”
