- Omokri mentioned Rotimi Amaechi and Lawal Bachir, both in the Buhari administration, as those that have been indicted
Special
assistant to former President Goodluck Jonathan on new media, Reno
Omokri, has come for President Muhammadu Buhari again over the way
corruption is tackled in Nigeria.
Omokri, the former aide to President Jonathan, wondered why Buhari was shielding APC members
According to Omokri, President Buhari has
two legal systems, one for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)
and the other for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Nigerians.
Omokri
wondered why under Buhari, it is only the members of the PDP that are
corrupt or tried for corruption while all those accused of the same
offence in the APC are either freed or declared innocent
“Under
President Muhammadu Buhari Nigeria practises a dual legal system where
APC politicians are innocent until proven guilty while PDP politicians
are guilty until proven innocent.
He mentioned Rotimi Amaechi, the
transport minister under Buhari, as well as Lawal Babachir, the
secretary to the government of the federation, who was recently indicted
by the Senate.
“If you doubt me, then
ask Amaechi and Babachir who are attending Federal Executive Council
meetings while FFK and Olisa Metuh are in and out of court. Alas!” He said.
Omokri
further wondered why it is very quick for the anti-graft agencies to go
after members of the opposition party while foot-dragging on cases that
concern members of the APC.
He said: “It
didn't take EFCC and DSS this long to investigate and arrest PDP
politicians. Why the foot dragging with Babachir the Baba of IDP funds?
“Is there one rule for Babachir and another rule for the perceived enemies of President Buhari?
“One
would think that a man accused of stealing from IDPs would be
expeditiously investigated and tried. Or is it a case of when I see the
broom I will pass over?”
