According to the PDP, the APC-led administration must make sure DCP Kyari is thoroughly investigated to ascertain the truth of the claims against him.

New allegation

The party warned that the ruling party must never look the other way at such a decisive moment especially, just because chieftains on its platform allegedly have ties with the embattled security leader.

Asking President Muhammadu Buhari to take quick action, the party also advised the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) to hand Kyari over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) if found guilty of the charges against him.

"Our party demands that the APC administration should not sweep this matter under the carpet given the manifest rapport between Kyari and some top APC leaders. We urge President Buhari not to “ease out” this case of corruption but should immediately restore the integrity and image of our nation by allowing for a forensic investigation on the suspect.
