Yero
Former Kaduna State Governor, Alhaji Ramalan Yero and the Kano state governorship candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2015 general elections, Alhaji Salihu Sagir Takai have been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday, Daily Trust has reported.
According to the newspaper, both men were arrested in connection with the Deizani’s N23bn campaign fund. The duo spent the night at the commission zonal office in Kano.
It was also gathered that the Secretary of PDP in Kano, Alhaji Auwalu Ibrahim Danzabuwa is also in the net.
However, a PDP Chieftain in Kano, Alhaji Musa Iliyasu Kwankwaso condemned the EFCC’s action, saying the commission was only rendering selective justice in its operations.
“If the commission is serious about the fight against corruption, it should extend its operation to some APC members because they too shared campaign money during last general elections. This campaign fund is a tradition in Nigerian politics and all political parties did the same thing in 2015 election.”
He cannot understand why only PDP members are being investigated by the commission, while the APC’s were allowed to go about their business.
