Probe Other Govts And Not Jonathan Alone...
The Ijaw Peoples Development Initiative (IPDI) has reacted to reports that the presidency plans to probe the immediate past administration of Goodluck Jonathan.
According to the group, the plot by President Muhammadu Buhari to probe the Jonathan-led government is a witch-hunt.
Austin Ozobo, the national president of the group said, though the group was not against probing corrupt leaders, but the investigation should extend beyond the Jonathan administration to previous governments, which leaders were corrupt, Daily Post reports.
He said: “We are not against probing corrupt leaders in the country, but it must not be centred on Jonathan and his cabinet alone. We have noticed that corrupt allegations levelled against Jonathan are cheap blackmail and attempt to rubbish his image for selfish agenda.
“If Buhari is so desirous to carrying out a probe, let him extend his probe to other past corrupt military Heads of State, democratic presidents and leaders of the country, including Buhari himself and not Jonathan alone.
“Buhari and his kitchen cabinet are not sacred cows; they were same past corrupt leaders, who have ruined this country in the past. Niger Delta is watching and will resist any witch-hunt and attempt to rubbish Jonathan by the Buhari government.”
