Oyegun who questioned the gifts Secondus received said the anti-corruption campaign of President Muhammadu Buhari was not targeted at any particular person but at corrupt persons.
“Well, from whom did the PDP deputy national chairman, Uche Secondus collect the gift?” Oyegun quizzed during a Q&A with journalists in Abuja.
“Was it from a corporate entity or from an individual? If it’s from the government coffers, it’s public funds. If a corporate entity decides to support a party or an individual that is corporate, that is private that is totally the individual’s decisions subject of course to the limit in the constitution and what the Electoral Act provides. I think is that straight forward,” he said.
“Look, I don’t know how often we will repeat this, we have a major problem with corruption, it is what has crippled this nation and if you are cutting down a tree, wherever its falls so be it. If he happens to be a participant so be it, the colour, the party, ethnic group or whatever it is, you can see just does not matter anymore.”
“So, I don’t know how else to explain that. In sixteen years, this is the first progressive, actively anti-corruption government that this nation has had.
“So if the results are the way they are, I mean, did you expect anything different, I don’t know unless somebody is wiser here and we will like to share from your wisdom because it could improve the way that we do things.
“If we are investigating corruption, where else except those who have participated in government and in the process, eh I don’t know, please enlighten me if there is another way to look at it and then we will go and give it a thought
