President Buhari says if any member of his party APC nor any of his
supporters is found guilty in any act of corruption, he will not shield
them. He said this in a new interview with The Interviewer magazine.
โDo you just grab people along the road and take them off to court for
trial just because you want to create a semblance of balance? First,
there has to be an accusation which must be properly investigated, and
when a prima facie case has been built, you prosecute.
If any of my backers or party (APC) members has
anything established against them, letโs see whether I will shield
anyone from prosecution. There seems to be a preponderance of the People
Democratic Party members standing trial because they had been in power
for 16 years, they had access to the public treasury and abused the
trust reposed in them. You can be assured that anybody caught in
corruption will answer for it irrespective of party, tribe or
religion.โhe said
