Anti-corruption: APC members not above prosecution- Moghalu

By Gabriel Ewepu
ABUJA-FOLLOWING the current fight against corruption led by President Muhammadu Buhari, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Dr. George Moghalu, has stated that no member of the party found corrupt will be spared.

Moghalu who is a the party’s National Auditor said this in an interview, where he stated that members of the party were not above prosecution if found culpable and if Nigerians have evidence of corrupt practices against any member of the ruling party should not hesitate to approach the anti-graft agencies for investigation and prosecution.

He said: “If Nigerians have evidence against any APC member no matter how prominent make it available to the anti-graft agencies saddled with the responsibility of fighting corruption and they will investigate it.

“Mr. President is not responsible for prosecution but to give a leeway, and he has integrity as a person and anybody who wants to work with him must live according to his rules otherwise he will embarrass the person because he cannot afford to damage the reputation he has built over the years.

He also explained why the government under the APC has faced challenges after taking over the reins of power, and accused the PDP of vandalising the country’s treasury.
“The truth of the matter is that as government we met a very bad situation; a country that was totally run down and almost vandalised, coupled with attendant economic downturn as a consequence and declining of our oil as a source of revenue for government.
