The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed All Progressives Congress (APC) allegation of loot, describing it as “mere blackmail”.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, said the APC should rather advice the President Muhammadu Buhari to the alleged “damage of the economy in 90 days”.

The party said rather than hide their heads in shame for poor performance in the past 90 days, the APC has resorted to blackmail and excuses.

He said the PDP is in support of a holistic fight against corruption but will not condone situations where only PDP members are continously harrassed.

The APC had on Sunday listed alleged “new instances of the insane looting of the treasury by some officials of the Goodluck Jonathan administration”.

The party maintained that the corruption mess that characterized the administration was so pervasive that until it is cleaned, Nigeria will not be able to actualize its potentials.

A press statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said the cases are heart-rendering which needs the attention of all Nigerians.

“First is a mind-shattering $2.2 billion arms scandal perpetuated under the Jonathan regime.

“Another revelation is a $6.9 million fraud by the Chief Security Officer (CSO) to President Jonathan, Gordon Obuah, committed under the guise of buying three mobile stages for the President.

“Also a 2.5 billion naira scam involving the rent of house boats” was mentioned by the ruling party.

The party further noted that “while those charged with handling of these cases are finalizing the details of bringing the suspects to justice, the APC’s immediate concern is the attempt by the PDP to make a cover up.

“It is clear to all Nigerians that the debilitating impact of 16 years of PDP’s misrule cannot be reversed in just 3 months. It is an obvious truth that it is always easier to destroy than to construct, but nothing will stand in the way of the Buhari Administration’s commitment to improving the quality of life of Nigerians and making our country to function again,” the statement read.
