Fani-Kayode, Stella Oduah, make FG’s new list of alleged Looters

Lai Mohammed

The Federal Government has gone on to release a new list of alleged looters, expanding the list from 5 to 28, with 23 new names, Channels TV reports.

The Minister for Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, had previously released a list of 5, all of them members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Mohammed, speaking on the new list of 23, said the initial list of 5 was only a teaser.

At the press conference where the list was released, I did say it was a tip of the iceberg. Apparently, this does not mean anything to people whose style is to comment on issues they barely understand, or just to shoot down anything coming from the government.

The Federal Government has a large number of alleged looters on its list. What was the PDP expecting when it challenged the FG to name the looters of the public treasury under the party’s watch? Did the PDP actually believe that the massive looting under its watch was a joke?

Giving the names, Mohammed said the Federal Government will not be intimidated into silence.
