Is the so-called mess clearing an answer for the adamant stance of the APC and President Buhari in running a government without a cabinet?

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the alleged discovery of new cases of fraud carried out during Goodluck Jonathan's tenure as President, by the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement released by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the party said, “The PDP has severally expressed its support for a holistic fight against corruption and we have challenged the Federal Government to investigate and prosecute all corrupt persons irrespective of ethnic and political affiliations."

Adding that “We are therefore appalled that instead of getting serious with the challenges of governance, the APC is bent on inventing excuse for its crass incompetence to create and manage wealth, to the detriment of the nation. We challenge the APC and the Presidency to be honest enough to respond to issues instead of resorting to propaganda."

It also said “Is the so-called mess clearing an answer for the adamant stance of the APC and President Buhari in running a government without a cabinet and a precise fiscal policy direction, a strange totalitarian approach that has taken serious toll on the economy and the polity in general?”
