Kashamu Defends Buhari, Says Corruption War Not Targeted At PDP Members

A PDP chieftain, Senator Buruji Kashamu has defended the
president of the Federation, Muhammadu Buhari saying his corruption war is not targeted
at his party PDP, but to all. In a recent interview reported by Clifford
Ndujihe, when asked to address the rumours that the corruption war was targeted
at the people of his party, the Senator said;

I am shocked and embarrassed by comments that the trial of
the people who  allegedly  misappropriated money that was meant to buy
weapons in the war against insurgency is a political witch-hunt of members of
my party, the PDP. The masterminds of that crime wanted the war to escalate and
if that had happened unchecked, the insurgency would have spread to other
regions of the federation.

The insurgents were already violating the peace of Abuja
with tragic bombings and it would have been just a matter of time for states
like Kogi, Edo, Ondo and Ekiti that are just a couple of hours away from Abuja
to be affected. Continue…

As of today, our security agencies have succeeded in
weakening and pushing back the Boko Haram elements. President Buhari has his
work clearly cut out for him because this ongoing fight against corruption must
be consistently fought until Nigeria is free from the menace of corruption.
This fight must be fought at all cost because it is the fight for the soul and
future of our great country. Political parties continually engage in fund
raising and it is difficult to know the difference between money that was
raised from such an exercise and money that was stolen from the treasury. Only
those in government knew the true sources of the funds that they disbursed.
