Hon. Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbonayinma, a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and former member of the House of Representatives for Egor/Ikpoba-Okha Federal Constituency of Edo State, has come forward with startling accusations.

He alleges that a cabal within President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration involved in the misappropriation of billions of dollars during their term in office.

The ex-legislator additionally mentioned that the ongoing challenges in the nation will not hinder the ruling APC’s prospects of triumphing in the gubernatorial elections in Edo State.

Agbonayinma popularly known as EJ in an interview with Vanguard said that President Bola Tinubu was not the cause of the hardship many Nigerians are facing, alleging that many people that found themselves in the corridors of power for some time have eaten the country’s tomorrow.

He said, “I can tell you that His Excellency Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu, GCFR is not the cause of our predicament. We are our own problems. Why? Corruption has eaten Nigeria deeply. When we fight corruption, corruption fights back.

“Before Tinubu came into office, the country was messed up by some cabal, before President (Muhammadu) Buhari came into office, the country was messed up by some cabal, when President Olusegun Obasanjo was President, the country was also bastardized.

“Corruption is the major problem facing our dear nation. Are we ready to fight corruption? Or is it just talking about it and not dealing with the root cause? For me, preventive measure is always the best option.

“To curtail and to combat the menace of corruption, it requires the collective effort of every patriotic Nigerians. There’s corruption all over the world, but that of Nigeria is something else.

“When someone is caught in America or any other part of the world, he is prosecuted, but when anyone is caught in Nigeria, he is celebrated, if the money that is meant to construct road, to build infrastructure was stolen yesterday, what can you do tomorrow?

“So the problem when you say APC, I could remember when Nigerians were crying that PDP had ruined the country. As at today, even the fact that things are hard, look at what Mr. President is doing in terms of building infrastructure.

” Look at Abuja today. Look at the face of Abuja, it has been changed totally. Look at Abuja-Benin road being awarded. Look at the Nigerian railway being revamped just about one year that President Tinubu came on board. When Buhari was President of this country, the cabal stole so much, billions of dollars, not just naira.”

Asked how prepared was the APC in September 21 election, the former federal lawmaker said, “Well, APC is more than prepared than I’ve ever thought. And the people of Edo having seen bad leadership over the years, how Edo state has been bastardized in the area of infrastructure, in the area of healthcare, in the area of education and road infrastructure.“
