The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lauded President Muhammadu Buhari’s ongoing anti-corruption crusade.

Secretary of the BoT, Senator Walid Jibrin, while speaking with newsmen at the party’s secretariat on Friday, said the former ruling party would support any leader who is ready to make Nigeria a corrupt-free nation.

He was speaking in the backdrop of the ongoing corruption and money laundering trial of former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki and other PDP chieftains.

Jibrin said the PDP would continue to back every legal measure put in place to recover funds from those who looted the treasury, adding however that the process must respect the rule of law.

“The BoT of the PDP does not condone corruption in any form. Anyone found guilty should be dealt with according to the laws of the land. We are in support of any leader who is ready to rid the country of corruption,” the BoT scribe said.

“It is wrong for anyone to say everybody in PDP is corrupt. Corrupt people are everywhere in the country. They are in every sector of the national economy and their activities have given Nigeria a negative image in the eyes of the international community.

“So it is the duty of every Nigerian to support the fight against corruption. But due process must be followed, in line with the laws of the land,” Jibrin added.
