N90b Scandal: Extract the Truth from FIRS - PDP Youths Beg Anti-Graft Agencies
The call followed the allegation by Timi Frank, a former Deputy Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who alleged that the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo started having issues when the presidency discovered that he mismanaged N90 billion allegedly made available by the FIRS for 2019 election campaign purposes.
Even though the FIRS had denied making N90 billion available to the Vice President for election campaigns, the youths said there is more to the allegation.
The youths, under the aegis of PDP South South Youth Vanguard said that the Inland Revenue must tell the nation what really transpired and stop denying the allegation.
The youths, in a statement by its National Chairman, James Efe Akpofure said that the issue must not be swept under the carpet and that the anti-graft agencies must swing into action at once to unravel the whole truth behind the scandal.
The youths said: "It is unfortunate that this is happening in a country where the government in power, which prides itself of fighting corruption, is accused of corruption.
"It is not enough for FIRS to deny this allegation. The anti-graft agencies should get to the root of this case and unravel what really transpired.
"Proper investigation devoid of bias should be conducted by the EFCC and other agencies. This government told the world that it will fight corruption, this is the time for it to demonstrate it and let Nigerians know that it is serious in its fight against corruption.
"This issue should not be swept under the carpet of denial; the world wants to know the truth."
