Speaking to press men in Abuja, Tuesday, August 11; Abdulkadir Abdusalam, national chairman of the LP revealed that the anti-graft war has to cut across and reach various highly placed individuals or it won’t hold water.
This Day has it that Abdulsalam’s stance on things is for the Halliburton case to be revisited, so as to put Nigerians in the know as regards the actual outcome of the case.
‘I want to refer to the statement of the President yesterday when he said that looters trials will begin very soon.
Firstly, I want to state that it is a welcome idea and development in our fight against corruption, but the fundamental question is; what are the pragmatic mechanism put in place by the Buhari administration and the APC to fight corruption. What is the blue print?’ Abdulsalam concluded.
