Legit.ng gathers that Amaechi accused the PDP of stealing money from the nation's treasury while the latter was in power.

Amaechi, who called on Nigerians to ask the opposition party to return the stolen money, also said the PDP was broke and hungry.

Amaechi said: “I was speaking to my friend from the other divide and he said you are hungry, I said ‘yes, if they did not steal the money they stole, you would have had enough food.’

“The money they stole is what is making me hungry. Tell them to bring the money. The PDP stole $2bn to prosecute 2015 elections but we still defeated them. They are broke, they are hungry and they want to come back to steal.

“The PDP members know that they are broke and because of that, they are looking for cheap source of funds.

“When they say there is no food, they want to steal money and they cannot do that because the President has said that public money is not for any individual.”

According to the national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, President Muhammadu Buhari knows how to catch thieves “and that is why the thieves have all gone to the PDP but even if they go to the PDP, they must be arrested".

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, charged Nigerians “not to allow President Muhammadu Buhari to steal their votes in the February 16, 2019 presidential election".

Atiku Abubakar, who spoke at an interactive session with some youth groups, social media influencers and bloggers in Abuja on Sunday, January 13, also lamented that the Buhari administration had wrecked the nation and must be voted out for Nigeria to thrive again.

According to press statement sent to Legit.ng by the PDP campaign spokesman, Kola Ologbodiyan, the PDP presidential candidate said the desperate attempts by the Buhari presidency to manipulate the electoral process were all geared to enable President Buhari steal votes in the election.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
