His words, “Corruption became so normalized by the PDP that they had difficulty defining what is corruption and theft,”

“The large number of cases, new and old, may appear to be daunting but PDP, which is now heckling the president has forgotten that the party bequeathed this to the current administration.

”They had large number of cases they did not investigate and prosecute.”

“The current administration is handling many of the cases that the PDP should have dealt with and the new ones as they arise.”
