PPCO: TETfund Secretary’s confession opens can of worms

The PDP Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) have said that the confession by the sacked Executive Director of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND), Dr Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, that he was fired for refusing to give ₦200 million, as kick-back, to the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, has further exposed the seething corruption in the Buhari Presidency.

PPCO opined that the revelation did not come to many Nigerians as a surprise and has further vindicated the PDP’s position that the Buhari Presidency is inherently corrupt and thrives on concealments, deception, beguilement, propaganda and lies.

According to the PPCO, President Muhammadu Buhari presides over a sanctuary of treasury looters who, as ministers, Presidential advisers, heads of special Presidential committees, APC leaders and members of President Buhari’s Campaign Council fritter our national resources with reckless abandon under Mr. President’s official cover.

We invite Nigerians to note that the Buhari Presidency has not given any reasons for Bichi’s removal. It has not also offered any form of explanation to the huge allegation bordering on corruption against a cabinet minister; a development, which betrays a collusion at very high level.

This is especially given the series of corruption entanglement around the Presidency, including the allegations that officials of the Buhari Presidency took ₦500 million as a bribe to reduce the fine imposed on a telecommunication company from ₦1.03 trillion to ₦330 billion.

The PPCO therefore calls on President Buhari to end his sanctimonious posturing as Nigerians are already aware that he leads a parade of corrupt and inept leadership that has taken the fortunes of our nation to the abyss.

The Statement was released by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan
