The Presidency has observed that some opposition politicians are collaborating to fight President Muhammadu Buhari over his administration war against corruption.
This was made known on Monday by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media, Garbu Shehu, when he spoke to newsmen during a visit to the national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole.
Shehu said: “The problem is that the competition for power in the country has become fiercer and fiercer because the stakes are very high and I will give you one example.
“The President has unleashed on the country a war against corruption, the type that has never been seen before. Assets are being recovered from powerful people. The President is lucky that he has a judiciary which is transforming itself and on the same page with the President in fighting corruption.
“As I speak with you, you know that two former state governors are in jail. A lot of people thought that this war against corruption is a joke and that the back and forth that has characterised the process over time will continue.
“One of the two cases that we are talking about was determined after eleven years of back and forth between lawyers and Judges, kicking the ball from this court to that court. But now, there is a new era in the country with the conclusion of these cases.”
He maintained that a lot of these harsh attack against the President were coming from people who had become used to lifestyle that they can no longer sustain.
