Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has refuted claims in some quarters that the Buhari administration's War Against Corruption was targeted at members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and other perceived enemies.
Osinbajo made his comments on Tuesday while fielding questions from newsmen at the end of the 27th Ordinary session of the African Union in Kigali, Rwanda.
The Vice President said such speculation was the handiwork of those who wanted to trivialize the anti-corruption war and stop the Government from recovering stolen funds.
In his words, "I think it's entirely absurd, I think that view is absurd and without foundation or basis whatsoever. We look at corruption from all possible facets.
'If you look at, for example, corruption on the military, from military procurement, obviously the only individuals responsible for that could be persons who had held office within the period in question and that has been done; and clearly the opposition, APC, was not in office at that time."
