The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday called on President Muhammadu Buhari to publish the list of people who benefitted from the repatriated $322 million Abacha loot.

In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan in Abuja, the party said the disbursement of the money did not pass through the constitutionally required approval of the National Assembly.

While urging President Buhari to show his transparency by enabling Nigerians know and see the faces of those superintending over the repatriated fund, the PDP said that the government should make public, names and photographs of all those involved in the handling of the money

“President Buhari needs to note that Nigerians are utterly dismayed that having hitherto postured as a supporter of the ‘Talakawa’ and man of integrity, he  has taken no steps against this bare-faced atrocity where over 90 per cent of supposed beneficiaries of the repatriated fund are phoney names supplied by fraudulent officials of his government.

“Nigerians are completely at a loss on why President Buhari always fail to take bold steps to expose and deal with corrupt and sharp practice by his appointees and leaders of his APC, even when such nefarious acts are directly against the underprivileged citizens already suffering the harsh economic realities of his administration.

“Since this issue was raised and the PDP called for a legislative scrutiny, the Federal Government and the APC have kept mum, perhaps, thinking that by their silence, it will be swept under the carpet like others in the past,” the statement read.
