Nnewi—First Republic Aviation Minister and nationalist, Chief Mbazulike Amechi, has challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to show Nigerians and the world that he is sincere about his anti corruption stance, by extending the probe of corrupt past political office holders in the former President Jonathan’s administration to his party men and alleged sponsors his election.
Speaking with newsmen at Nnewi shortly after the 5th Nnewi Economic Summit and Launch of Compendium of Nnewi Industrial Activities, organized by the Nnewi Chamber of Commerce Industry Mines and Agriculture, NCCIMA, at Nnewi, Chief Amechi also warned that no section of the country or anybody in the country, no matter how highly place will push Ndigbo into a position of irrelevance or the situation of 1967.
While pledging his total and unreserved support for the anti corruption stance of the President Buhari and probing of past political office holders, contractors and individuals alleged to have been involved in corrupt practices in the country, Chief Amechi urge the President to also be bold to probe those who sponsored his election, saying they are the worst corrupt people in the country.
“I am totally and unreservedly in support of President Muhammadu Buhari, in the fight against corruption, I support the the probe of past political office holders, but all I say is that, if you go back to PDP government, we had corrupt elements, if you go to APC, their Governors who funded the President in his campaign and subsequent election are the most corrupt people in the country.
