Professor
Itse Sagay, the chairman of the presidential advisory committee against
corruption has said that the Economic and financial crimes commission, EFCC, is
recovering stolen money from Nigeria's former minister of petroleum, Diezani
Allison daily.
Sagay made
these statements while reacting to the 19th anniversary of the Peoples
Democratic party (PDP). He also reminded the party that Diezani was one of its
products.
He said that
the Buhari administration has recovered nearly a trillion naira from officials
who served under the PDP administration, adding that the party should apologize
to Nigerians and turn a new leaf. In his words;
“I am
disappointed in the PDP. If they are celebrating 19 years, they should
celebrate with caution and give the nation an assurance that they would not
bring such negative impact on our nation again and they have turned a new leaf.
Yes,
President Obasanjo was the one who proposed the establishment of the EFCC and
the ICPC? After Nuhu Ribadu left the EFCC, what became of the EFCC? These
people just neutralized these agencies and turned this country into an ATM from
which they kept on withdrawing money until there was nothing left.
So, they
destroyed our economy; their greed was overwhelming. If you look at Diezani for
instance, there is no day that goes by that money is not recovered from her. In
Thursday’s papers, it was reported that the EFCC had recovered about half a
trillion naira from these people.”
