Buhari’s Anti- Corruption War Becoming ‘Selective’- Falae

The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, Chief
Olu Falae, has said the anti-corruption campaign by the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led Federal Government is “beginning to look selective”.

Falae was recently named as one of the beneficiaries of the
$2.1bn meant for arms procurement, which was allegedly diverted by former
National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki. He has, however, repeatedly
denied having any contact with Dasuki saying he got the money from a PDP
chieftain and not Dasuki. Asked to assess the ongoing anti-corruption campaign,
he told a Punch correspondent;

“It is getting out of hand. They know that there is no
charge they can bring against me, that is why smear campaign is used as a
substitute so that over time people will say I am a bad man.

“I read some articles in the paper that talked about ‘the
increasingly controversial anti-graft war’. It is truly becoming controversial
because it is no longer reasonable; it is beginning to look selective. How
could you link me with Dasuki? The person I have not seen for more than 20
years. The man I had no dealing with whatsoever,” he queried.
