The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the presidency yesterday re-engaged in a war of words over corruption, with the opposition party daring the administration to institute a truth commission to probe utilisation of security votes back to 1984.

NATIONAL leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP said Sunday that if the All Progressives Congress, APC led Federal Government must succeed in its fight against Corruption, it must probe all security votes of past Presidents and Heads of State from 1984 to date, just as it called for the establishment of a National Truth Commission.

Chief Ben Apugo was a member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the former ruling party at the centre.

In this interview, Apugo speaks on why he, alongside Senate President Bukola Saraki, former Governor Nyako of Adamawa State, and Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, quit the PDP. He also speaks on the fate of the APC in the South-East and the pro-Biafra quest by some Igbo elements, among other issues.

Southern Ijaw local government area has again proved its uniqueness in Bayelsa State socio-political configuration. The council area, the biggest in the state in terms of landscape, has a coastline of approximately 60km on the Bight of Benin. It also had the highest number of militant camps in the Niger Delta at the height of militancy in the blighted region.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has urged Nigerians, irrespective of leanings, to rally round the APC–led government to end Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East.
