Olisa Metuh, the former spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has pointed out that President Bola Tinubu’s anti-corruption efforts are geared towards addressing corruption among government officials, not the political opposition.

In a press statement issued yesterday, the former PDP spokesperson applauded Tinubu administration’s “genuine, determined, and uncompromising fight against corruption and financial crimes.”

Metuh emphasized the contrast with past administrations, stating that the anti-corruption drive was “simply a political cum campaign tool,” utilized to target opposition figures.

“In the past, the fight against corruption was targeted at diminishing opposition shining talents,” Metuh stated.

However, under Tinubu’s leadership, Metuh observed that serving ministers and senior officials are being dismissed from their positions and undergoing graft prosecution, irrespective of their political affiliations.

Today, we see serving ministers and people who are holding top offices being removed from office and investigated for prosecution over corruption and financial crimes,” he said.

Metuh praised the shift in approach under Tinubu, stating that the anti-corruption effort is now concentrated on “persons who have questions to answer and not a tool for persecution.”

The former opposition spokesperson called for bipartisan backing for the administration’s anti-graft campaign. He also praised the president for demonstrating a commitment to good governance since assuming office seven months ago.

Metuh said that Nigerians now have renewed confidence in the Nigerian project under President Tinubu, particularly in the observance of best democratic practices.

He highlighted that the administration seems to prioritize values such as liberty, freedom, transparency, and accountability.

Metuh also praised the patriotic decision to reduce governance costs by cutting official entourages for state and international events by 60%.
He described Tinubu as displaying proactive leadership that actively listens to the concerns of Nigerians

The former PDP spokesperson appealed to all Nigerians to set aside sectional, political, and religious sentiments, urging support for President Tinubu.
He emphasized that the achievements of the administration contribute directly to the success of the nation.

Metuh urged Nigerians to offer input and constructive criticisms as responsibilities of responsible citizens in a democracy. He stated that the Tinubu government is reflective of a good work in progress.

Kanyi Daily recalls that the Court of Appeal in Abuja had nullified the conviction and seven years jail term imposed Olisa Metuh, after finding him guilty of money laundering charges.
