President Muhammadu Buhari will not be deterred by baseless criticisms by the opposition in his determination to eradicate chronic corruption in Nigeria in his capacity as the African Union continental anti-corruption champion.<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, made the statement on Tuesday when he fielded questions from State House correspondents in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The presidential aide was speaking with reporters on some issues raised by the opposition PDP since the beginning of the interrogation of suspended Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mr Ibrahim Magu.<\/p>\n

Shehu said the volume and reach of the anti-corruption crusade had so far, reflected what the PDP left behind.<\/p>\n

\u201cCorruption became so normalised by the PDP that they had difficulty defining what is corruption and theft,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The spokesman lauded Buhari\u2019s determination to end corruption in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n

\u201dThey had large number of cases they did not investigate and prosecute.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shehu also warned the PDP to allow the process of investigation and prosecution to work, instead of being preemptive about ongoing cases and unduly agitating the public.<\/p>\n

He expressed his optimism that the judiciary would deal with the cases swiftly and satisfactorily in a manner that would deter other would-be offenders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current administration is handling many of the cases that the PDP should have dealt with and the new ones as they arise,\u201d Shehu said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
