WARRI—THE Ijaw People Development Initiative, IPDI, in Delta State, yesterday, appraised the anti-graft battle of President Muhammadu Buhari and concluded that he was combating common political enemies in the country and not corruption, as he had made people to believe.
National President of IPDI, Mr Austin Ozobo, in a statement in Warri, said “Buhari has not shown Nigerians any readiness to fight corruption. A good leader must begin sanctification from his house. He must first remove the veil in his own eyes before thinking of removing the veil in another man’s eyes.

He must first remove the veil in his own eyes before thinking of removing the veil in another man’s eyes.
“It is obvious that his fight is targeted at common political enemies in the country, it is to witch-hunt to weaken the opposition, if not, why has no move been made to arrest corrupt All Progressives Congress, APC ex-governors, instead Buhari is providing cover for corrupt APC ex governors and other leaders.
“His corruption crusade is one sided and selective in nature. You cannot hide your sins and begin to condemn others. Such persons are hypocrites and pretenders and their punishment will be twice over in heaven. The arrest and claims against former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, is a clear evidence to show that Buhari is only fighting political antagonists.
“Buhari should start his probe former APC governors and notable APC leaders in the country. Why should corrupt APC leaders walk freely the corridors of power without being questioned and the president is pretending and paying deaf ears to public outcry to bring them to justice?” IPDI queried.
