TETFUND : Ex secretary’s confession exposes alleged corruption in Buhari’s presidency-PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) said yesterday that the confession by the sacked Executive Director of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND), Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, that he was fired for refusing to give N200 million as kick-back to the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, has further exposed the corruption in the Buhari presidency.

The former Secretary of TETFUND, Bichi after his sack on Tuesday, told BBC Hausa Service in an interview that he was dismissed because of his refusal to give the Minister of Education kick back from projects executed.

In a statement signed by PPCO Director Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan yesterday, PDP noted that: “The revelation did not come to many Nigerians as a surprise and has further vindicated the PDP’s position that the Buhari presidency is inherently corrupt and thrives on concealments, deception, beguilement, propaganda and lies.

PPCO stated that: “They had always alerted Nigerians that President

Buhari presides over a sanctuary of treasury looters who, as ministers, presidential advisers, heads of special presidential committees, APC leaders and members of President Buhari’s Campaign Council fritter our national resources with reckless abandon under Mr. President’s official cover.

“We invite Nigerians to note that the Buhari Presidency has not given reasons for Bichi’s removal. It has not also offered any form of explanation to the huge allegation bordering on corruption against a cabinet minister; a development, which betrays collusion at very high level.
