We Will Assess The APC Government When They Leave Office – Ahmed Makarfi

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said it would not keep anything from Nigerians “By 2019, when we take over”.

Ahmed Makarfi, who spoke authoritatively about PDP returning to power in 2019, said Nigerians would see the flaws of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

“On the issue of corruption, we will be able to assess the APC government when they leave office. By 2019, when we take over, we are not going to be vindictive. But the truth will prevail.

“Who told you there are no series of petitions against them as they are in office right now? When they leave office, we will see what will come up. We will know whether corruption is something limited to one political party. We are not doing justice to the fight against corruption when we try to politicise it.”

“Take a look at the private sector, those the EFCC has charged to court, no politician has been tried or taken to court for anything near that. If you try to just narrow corruption to only politicians from the opposition parties, we are undermining the fight against corruption. We should look at it holistically together as Nigerians.

“I am also referring you to an official government report from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) which pointed out leading agencies or institutions on the corruption index, and they are all public institutions manned by public servants and not politicians,” he said.
