The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that there is nothing
wrong in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arresting
the duo of Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike
Ekweremadu, over criminal charges against them.
In a statement signed by the Acting National Publicity Secretary,
Yekini Nabena, the ruling party claimed that whatever legal action taken
against them it is just an application of the law of the land,
stressing that they should answer for their acts of infamy.
The statement tittles: ‘APC to PDP: A clear conscience fears no accusation’, read: “The
PDP in its latest round of bogus claims has alleged that the Federal
Government plans to arrest the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and
his Deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.
“We had thought that by now, the PDP would be tired of its lame
opposition strategy of false alarms, baseless and frivolous
accusations. TheThe President Buhari administration has repeatedly
demonstrated its strict adherence to the rule of law, therefore the
alleged plan to arrest or harass the mentioned leaders is hogwash and
baseless.
“Clear conscience fears no accusation. Why are PDP leaders
afraid of arrest if their conscience is clear? All law-abiding citizens
or resident of the country have nothing to fear about arrest. However,
nobody no matter how highly placed will escape the full wrath of the law
if he or she runs fowl of our laws.
“If the Senate President and the tree-climbing Senator are
facing criminal charges in our law courts and his Deputy has
explanations to make to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) for acquisition of numerous properties in Nigeria and abroad
through questionable sources, the President Buhari-led APC
administration has nothing to do with them.
“The laws of the country are only being applied and they should answer for their acts of infamy,” the statement read.
