NDDC Probe: Fayose Calls For Akpabio, Others’ Prosecution

A former Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose, has called for the prosecution of the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio and those involved in the alleged contract scam in the Niger Delta Development Commission.

Fayose, who is also being prosecuted for alleged corruption, said the NDDC probe and the investigation of the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, had clearly shown that the current government headed by President Muhammadu Bihari is very corrupt.

He said this on his Twitter handle on Monday night.

The former governor said the All Progressives Congress is a haven of corrupt politicians and whosoever joined the party, no matter how corrupt, is given immunity from prosecution.

Fayose said in the series of tweets, “Isn’t it now clear for all to see that this APC govt of Buhari is a family of corruption?

“Just like Magu Gate and others before it, the looting of NDDC under the control of Senator Godswill Akpabio has again made a mess of their self-professed fight against corruption.

“And like I have maintained,  the only thing being done with the so-called fight against corruption is to persecute opposition figures. 

“Rogues all over the world,  the moment they decamp to APC,  they will be accorded the prime of place in their govt.

“We only hope that like others that have happened in this govt, this will not be swept under the carpet. 

“They should not make it the usual family affairs. Nigerians want to see its end.  Akpabio and others must be fully investigated and charged to court if found culpable.”

Recall that there have been startling revelations from the ongoing probe of the NDDC by the House of Representatives .
