The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the alleged $65 million (about N31 billion) fraud in the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), in which President Muhammadu Buhari’s son- in-law, Gimba Yau Kumo, is reportedly involved.

The Presidency, yesterday, declared that President Muhammadu Buhari has no relationship with Gimba Yau Kumo, who has been declared wanted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission in connection with a $65 million fraud at the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria .

But in a late statement signed by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, the Presidency said: “This should normally be an affirmation that our anti-corruption agencies/institutions are truly independent and allowed unfettered freedom by the President, which in fact, is the case.

“It is, therefore, unfortunate to bring the Presidents family into this case. It is in our view, an attempt to generate views and sell copies of sensational reporting.“The President’s position at all times is that the law be allowed to take its course. As is well known of him, President Muhammadu Buhari will not provide any cover for crime, no matter who is involved.”

“Anyone who has useful information on their whereabouts should report to ICPC Headquarters, Abuja, any of the ICPC state offices or the nearest Police station.” The 2015-2018 report is currently under scrutiny by the committee, chaired by Mathew Urhoghide, representing Edo South. According to the report, the contract was awarded in four phases and was overpaid to the tune of N3billion.
