Some of the seven politicians, who used to be members of the
Peoples Democratic Party and other opposition parties, had allegedly defected
to the ruling All Progressives Congress to stop the dangling axe of the EFCC
and other security agencies from falling on them.
Specifically, the politicians who are currently either under
probe or prosecution for allegedly diverting government funds have separately
vowed to ensure Buhari remains in power untill 2023.
The seven politicians include the senator representing
Nasarawa West at the National Assembly, Abdullahi Adamu (N15bn); the senator representing Sokoto North and former Governor
of Sokoto State, Aliyu Wamakko (N15bn);
ex-Senate Minority Leader and former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill
Akpabio (N100bn), who recently
defected from the PDP to the APC; and a former Governor of Abia State, Orji
Uzor Kalu (N3.2bn).
Others are the immediate past Secretary to the Government of
the Federation, Babachir Lawal (N223m);
the former Governor of Rivers State and Director-General of the Buhari Campaign
Organisation in 2015, Rotimi Amaechi (N97bn);
the Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari; and former National Chairman of
the PDP, Ali Modu Sheriff (N680m).
