The People Democratic Party (PDP) has said that it established the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to fight corruption and not entertain Nigerians, by not revealing the owners of the looted funds found in Ikoyi Lagos.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who served his two terms under the party, founded the anti-graft commission in 2003.
Speaking on the monies discovered by the commission in an apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos, PDP alleged that under President Muhammadu Buhari, the anti-corruption fight had lost focus.
“The PDP administration established the EFCC to fight corruption effectively & efficiently and not to entertain Nigerians,” the party tweeted.
“The anti-corruption fight under the APC govt has become comedy. The EFCC now discovers funds in apartments and offices that have no owners.
“It is preposterous to imagine that the last four seizures coincidentally have no known owners. This is most unfortunate and embarrassing.
“Who are the owners of N49m at Kaduna Airport, N448m at LEGICO Mall, N250m in Balogun Market and $43.4m, N23.2m & £27,000 in Osborne Road?
“The EFCC must also tell Nigerians the total amount they have recovered in the last 2 years & provide verifiable accounts of recovered funds”, the party tweeted.
