The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to prove the sincerity of his fight against corruption by directing the investigation and arraignment of former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, over allegations of corruption. The party expressed the belief that Oshiomhole was being officially shielded from investigation by the Buhari Presidency. The party therefore invited Nigerians to join the call for the investigation and prosecution of the erstwhile governor over the weighty allegations against him. PDP condemned the official shielding of Oshiomhole, whom it said President Buhari had anointed as his preferred National Chairman of “the dysfunctional” All Progressives Congress (APC), in spite of the public knowledge of the corruption allegations against him. The party stated: “We challenge the Presidency to come out clear on its involvement in the efforts to protect former Governor Oshiomhole as well as other APC members from prosecution over corruption allegations.
