A leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Dayo
Ogunjebe, has called on President Muhammadu
Buhari not to be selective in his fight against
corruption.

He also urged the President not to pander to the
wishes of members of his All Progressives Congress
who might be urging him to use security agencies to
intimidate and harass members of the opposition
political parties.

Ogunjebe, in a statement, on Thursday, said the
President must live above board in the management
of the nation’s affairs if he must maintain and sustain
the goodwill he currently has across the nation’s
political, social and economic spectra.

He said the call became necessary in view of the fact
that only the members of the PDP who served in the
last government led by former President Goodluck
Jonathan had so far been called to question, leaving
those in the APC who are perceived to be corrupt.

He said, “President Muhammadu Buhari, by virtue of
the office he occupies, is the father to all Nigerians,
irrespective of political, ethnic, religious or any other
bias anyone might have. So, if he is to lead the
nation, he must be seen to be fair and just.

“I mean as a leader desirous of putting the country
back into shape, all manner of people deemed to
have caused any form of infraction to the nation’s
wellbeing must be called to question. His fight to rid
the country of all forms of corruption must be all
encompassing and not half-hearted or biased.”

He further gave a clarification, saying he was not
averse to the move to bring corrupt people that ran
the country to book but stated that, “I will support a
situation whereby anybody, especially in the PDP,
who has been deemed to have soiled their hands in
the past are called to question, as I am not in support
of such but the same must be applied to those in the
ruling party too.”
