On bribery issue in the ruling party, Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has stated that Nigerians are awaiting to see how President Muhammadu Buhari will handle the bribery allegations levelled against the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, over the conduct of primary elections in the party recently.
The Senate President released this statement through his Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Yusuph Olaniyonu,
He also described the threat by the former Edo State Governor to sue him over his statement that Oshiomhole ought to quit politics on moral grounds as an empty boast, adding that he would be ready to meet him (Oshiomhole) in court.
He said: “Nigerians are waiting to see how the President will handle the serious allegations against his party chairman. We expect the President with his anti-corruption campaign to institute thorough and transparent investigation into the allegations against his party chairman.
“The failure of the President to get to the root of the matter will finally destroy his ability and that of the party to continue to talk of any anti-graft battle. The President should let the investigation be thorough, open and transparent. This is no time for any cover-up.”
Saraki said that until the outcome of a thorough investigation is known to Nigerians and the APC chairman is cleared of the allegations against him, Oshiomhole does not fit to talk about morality or fight against corruption anymore.
