The failure
to implement the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s committee report on the
internally displaced persons’ camps, may affect the chances of the All
Progressives
Congress (APC) in 2019.The Senator representing Kaduna Central at
the National Assembly, Shehu Sani,gave this warning.
According to
him, the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari to implement the report may see
the party not surviving the electoral heat.Sani, who is the Chairman, Senate
Committee on Humanitarian Crisis in the Northeast, also warned against delaying
the report on the suspended Secretary to the Federal Government, Babachir
Lawal.
He said any
further delay in making the reports public would tarnish Buhari’s long-built
reputation and credibility.The senator urged the fight against corruption not
to be limited to the opposition parties alone, but also to the ruling APC, to
prove to Nigerians that it is not one-sided.
Sani, who
handed over a newly purchased skills acquisition centre to the leadership of
Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) at Sabon-Tasha, Kaduna, said he was
worried about these developments.
“I hope the
reports have not been eaten by rodents and the soft copy infected by virus. But
if there is nothing of such, Mr. President must take a serious action on them.
And if he doesn’t, then the proverbial insecticide and deodorant would simply
be applied.
“If we are
serious about fighting corruption, it should be total. The president should
know that his credibility is hanging until this issue is addressed and very
well too. There should be no hidden place, or immunity for anybody.
“The whole
Nigeria is waiting for him to act. He should not allow his love, passion and
soft-heartedness for people he holds closely, to
deny him his
good name. He should make a move to either redeem his image or that of the
people involved,” he said.
The senator
said if the ruling APC has had the capacity to jail people in the opposition,
it should also do the same to indicted members in the APC.He stressed that it
is only then that the party could show that it means well for all Nigerians.
