Why There’s No Need For Buhari To Probe APC Members – Lagos Chairman Speaks Up

The chairman, Lagos state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, Henry Ajomale has said there is no need for President Muhammadu Buhari to probe APC members because they were not part of the previous federal government.

Speaking in an interview with The Punch, Ajomale said those accusing Buhari of being selective in his anti-corruption programme were afraid of being probed because they had something to hide.

“The APC was never in government, why does the President have to probe them?” he asked.

He described the accusation as diversionary, saying people should rather concentrate on what needs to be done to make those who served in the previous government explain how they got the wealth they made within that period.

Ajomale said: “If they have nothing to fear, those being probed should not bother themselves. If a man makes genuine money through his private enterprises, no government can probe that business since he has nothing to do with governance. I think the accusation is diversionary.

“Some of these people are corrupt and should be probed and that is essentially what they are doing, there is no witch-hunt in the present anti-corruption war. It is the immediate past government that any reasonable person would probe.”

On the issue of marking 100 days in office, the APC chairman said he doesn’t believe in it as it was too short to make any tangible achievement.

According to him, those saying Buhari had performed poorly in his 100 days in office were not sincere.

“I have always been saying that I don’t believe in 100 days because practically there is nothing anybody can achieve in 100 days, especially when you don’t meet all the requirements that you need to govern at the time you were inaugurated,” he said.

Ajomale, who wondered what people expected Buhari to achieve within 100 days, explained that when the president took over power, he virtually met an empty treasury and so he has limited resources with which to work it.

He however, said there has been an improvement in power supply since Buhari became president and Nigerians are happy about it.

Recall that the immediate past governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Fashola, always gave a stewardship of his government in every 100 days throughout his eight-year tenure and Ajomale was the chairman of the APC in the state when Fashola was governor.

Buhari’s 100 days in office had been trailed with mixed reactions, while some applauded the president, some were not too impressed.

Femi Adesina, the special adviser on media and publicity to the President had said since Buhari was sworn in on May 29, things have changed in the country, pointing to the fact that a new sheriff has truly come to town.

Meanwhile, Nigerian singer cum columnist, Pascal Uche Ejikeme, popularly known as Etcetera, graded Buhari with 5 F9’s, an A1 and a C, saying he expects the president to do more than he is currently doing.
