The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that protests and criticisms cannot prevent the Federal Government and the anti-corruption agencies from investigating or inviting suspected corrupt persons to answer to charges.
The party also said that the Buhari Administration will not micro-manage the anti-corruption agencies, adding that it was wrong for the PDP to accuse the APC-led federal government of unleashing the agencies against the opposition
.
In a statement issued on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party also dismissed the allegation by the PDP that the anti-corruption war of the Buhari Administration is selective, calling it a worn-out argument.
''The ceaseless cry of selective anti-corruption battle is a bogey invented by the PDP to intimidate the anti-corruption agencies, and it will not work. It is the PDP's strategy to stifle the fight against corruption.
''How can the PDP claim to support the anti-graft battle when every time any of its members is called in for questioning, it runs to the media to shout that the battle is 'selective'? Is it possible that anyone who is invited for questioning will not belong to a party, an ethnic group or a certain faith?'' it queried.
