The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the Buhari Presidency of allowing the mass looting of public funds to corruptly create a financial war chest for the APC to intimidate Nigerians and muscle the 2023 general elections.
The PDP in a statement on Tuesday by its Spokesperson, Hon. Debo Ologunagba alleged that the APC is diverting public funds meant for development purposes and salaries of workers to its coffers by orchestrating the purchase of its Presidential nomination form by all manner of persons at excessive N100 million to warehouse sleaze funds for the elections.
The called on the anti graft agencies as well as the National Assembly to investigate into the allegation to avoid the country from complete financial shutdown.
“Our Party” he said “has information of how public funds are being withdrawn from Ministries, Agencies and Parastatals of government and diverted to people who have no verifiable means of livelihood to purchase APC’s Presidential Nomination and Expression of Interest forms for individuals without any electoral value and who cannot even win Local Government elections.
“We have intelligence on how public funds are pulled out of government Agencies in a surreptitious design perfected by an APC leader in connivance with certain individuals in positions of authority close to top persons in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)”.
The opposition party called on Nigerians to recall that it had earlier alerted on how the CBN under Mr. Godwin Emefiele as CBN Governor has been turned into the finance department of the APC as “APC leaders fraudulently access public funds through nebulous subsidies, shady intervention programmes and discriminatory exchange policies which perpetuate illegal arbitrage system”   
The party lamented that “APC has resorted to the underhand method to corruptly rake in billions of naira from public treasury without consideration for the welfare of Nigerians. 
“This APC’s nefarious action is informed by its realization that its leaders cannot make huge donations to the APC coffers as they will be violating the limits of contribution to political parties as stipulated by law and regulation.
“The APC is a sinking ship with ill-fated and inchoate sailors holding on to straw including this shameless attempt to sweep our national treasury. It is regrettable that the APC has shamelessly and soullessly extended their corruption to our electoral process not minding the consequential effect on our democratic system”.
PDP was firm that such shenanigan and criminal pillaging of the national treasury cannot prevent the imminent crushing defeat of the APC at the polls in 2023 adding that Nigerians have realized the fraud and life discounting experiences that the APC represents. The PDP called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Accountant General of the Federation as well as the Auditor General of the Federation to immediately commence investigation and monitor the movement of funds in Ministries, Department and Agencies of government so as to protect the national treasury from the APC as the 2023 general elections approaches.
It further called on The National Assembly to activate it’s constitutional responsibility and commence duty a public investigation into the unfortunate development.
