Ize-Iyamu's endorsement: ‘Shut up, leave us alone’ - Buhari fires back at PDP - Daily Post Nigeria

Ize-Iyamu, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the forthcoming election in Edo.

According to the President, the PDP has easily forgotten its own history and antecedents and has decided to point at the faults of others, ranting against the present administration’s war against corruption and alleging its failure. Speaking on the case of Bala Mohammed, the Governor of Bauchi State, the Presidency recalled that the anti-graft agency was arraigned on a six-count charge bordering on abuse of office, false declaration of assets and fraud to the tune of N864 million.

The Presidency argued that Ize-Iyamu remains a suspect until conviction, advising the PDP to show examples by “withdrawing the nomination of their governors and the party’s numerous Senators and other legislators standing trial in various courts of the country.The Presidency insisted that the PDP destroyed the country’s economy for sixteen years and so has no moral authority to criticize the current administration.

“This clean-up drive by the President Buhari administration will only speed up with the ongoing investigations and trials. Before then, the Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State had wondered Buhari is supporting the governorship candidate of the APC.
