The APC had claimed on Sunday, August 17, 2015, that about N11 trillion had been embezzled under the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
In a response the same day, the PDP criticized the APC for its comments saying that the figures released by the APC were imaginary.
The opposition party’s response was contained in a statement by National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh.

It reads in part:
“In trying to escalate their stock-in-trade of lies, wild allegations and falsehood, the APC failed to understand that their baseless fabrications are capable of throwing an unsuspecting nation into chaos.”
“The spate of fabrications by Lai Mohammed has become a sickening source of worry for well-meaning Nigerians, including those in his party.”
APC National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed had released a list of sums which had allegedly been looted while also condemning persons who were trying to dissuade President Muhammadu Buhari from probing the Jonathan administration.
