If given another chance in power, the PDP will drain the government's coffers, says Lai Mohammed

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), according to Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed, will empty the nation's coffers if given another chance to rule.

Mohammed made this comment during a speech in Tanzania in response to the debate surrounding the PDP national working committee members' return of N122.4 million (NWC).

If a man can steal from himself, he will steal without any restrain from other people. The problem is that PDP will never change and like they say, a leopard will never change its spots. When PDP lost elections in 2015, they admitted that they had learnt their lessons, but obviously, they have learnt nothing.

God forbid, if they ever have access to public purse again, they will leave no kobo there. We know what we met when we assumed office in 2015, we are still wailing from it. We hope Nigerians have now seen from this scandal the intention of PDP if they ever have access to public treasury.

Mohammed stated that the source of the monies shared should be investigated by the party and added that during his time as a member of the APC's NWC, he never received any payments into his account.

Never did I remember that any form of money, call it, accommodation, or whatsoever, was ever paid into the account of any member of the NWC of either ACN or APC'' he said.
