APC Will Not Shield Members From Corruption Probe – Mustapha Salihu

All Progressives Congress (APC)

The national vice chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress for the North East region, Mustapha Salihu, has rejected reports saying that those joining his party will escape prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. He recently had his say while speaking to journalists at his Yola private residence, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the notion is designed to blackmail the administration of President Bola Tinubu, who has zero tolerance for corruption, and should not be taken seriously.

He added that anyone with credible information on any APC chieftain involved in corruption should file a petition against such a member, and the party will investigate and prosecute anyone who is found guilty.

His words, “A lot of APC chieftains have done free bargain, and they are returning money. Anyone that stole money will be prosecuted, even if you join APC, because this administration has zero tolerance for corruption, as corruption killed the economy of the country.

We succeeded, and Jonathan was sent out of power. After that, people with a one-party ideology of policy-seeking coalition stayed on one side, and political pirates or buccaneers stayed on the other side.

The power-seeking coalition is no longer in APC because they could not get what they wanted, but for the majority, we were a policy-seeking coalition, so we remain to build the country.

ADC is a power-seeking coalition, so it would not last, because 80 per cent of the people that joined or fused into ADC are presidential candidates.

They already have a notion of a Messianic attitude, so nobody is going to step down or support another candidate.”

WOW.
