The Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari has been urged not to entertain politicians with questionable records into the ruling Party.
A group known as Southern Taraba Concerned citizens made the call during news briefing in Abuja, Nigeria’s Capital.
The group also called on the Nigeria’s Anti – graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC and the National leadership of All Progressive Congress APC to disregard politicians with records of financial misappropriation.
According to the Coordinator of the group Mr. Daniel Likam, “the decamping by some members of opposition party to the ruling party is an indication that they are looking for political favor not to be investigated.”
Mr. Likam stated that the decamping of former minority leader Senator Emmanuel Bwacha representing Taraba South in North East Nigeria as a cover up to financial misappropriation and misrepresentation.
“We want to put it on record that we have compiled a list of all zonal intervention projects and funds running into billions of naira which have dissapeared without execution.”
Mr Daniel Likam noted that the group has further approached EFCC with facts and figures for senator Bwacha to be investigated.
He commended the EFCC leadership under its Chairman Abdurasheed Bawa for the investigations so far on their complains.
“We must commend the current leadership of EFCC under Abdurasheed Bawa who has so far used his good office to send his operatives to our zone to see things for themselves and investigate properly.”
The Southern Taraba Concerned group encouraged EFCC not to relent in the service to the nation.
