The APC deputy national publicity secretary, Yekini Nabena, in a statement on Saturday, July 4, said reports of the criminal conspiracy linking some PDP bigwigs with Hushpuppi should be a matter of serious interest to relevant authorities in Nigeria.

The party said it was aware that the Economic and Finacial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has already declared Hushpuppi wanted over fraud allegations.

Nabena, however, said the EFCC, Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and other sister agencies must investigate PDP chieftains like former vice president Atiku Abukar, former Senate president Bukola Saraki, former House speaker Yakubu Dogara and Dino Melaye.

According to the ruling party, the PDP leadership turned Dubai into their meeting place ahead of the 2019 general elections in Nigeria, saying it is not a mere coincidence.

It added that Hushpuppi was at different times photographed in Dubai meeting with these PDP chieftains.

Some Nigerians have also called on anti-graft agencies to beam their searchlight on the APC and its members as they are also corrupt.
