The attention of Peoples Democratic Party National Youth League has been drawn to a purported list of “corrupt” political leaders parading across various social media platforms allegedly emanating from our great party.

After conducting our investigation, we wish to state that the report in question does not emanate from our great party, PDP and it does not represent the views of the leadership and entire PDP members.

We state without iota of doubt that our great party is a responsible party that respects sanity and rule of law. PDP will never emulate the lawless ruling All Progressive Congress led federal government to defame and shame citizens of Nigeria as that is the job of the judiciary. in facr, media trials is alien to PDP culture and policy.

We suspect that the jittery APC cooked up the said list so as to send a subtle false narrative that it was PDP officials, including His Excellency, Governor Darius Ishaku, our hardworking and popular Governor of Taraba State, that destroyed the country between 1999 and 2015, a narrative that is highly discredited and proven to be far from the truth.

We state therefore that the federal government should desist from playing to the gallery and take up the challenge to publish names of convicted corrupt officials and those with pending files with the Economic Financial Crimes Commission as the so-called list earlier released by the Alhaji Lai Muhammed, the discredited misinformation minister is but a ruse.

We advice members of the public and media organisation to disregard the lists flying round.

Signed
Inioribo Tamunotonye
National Coordinator,
