An anti-corruption group wants President Muhammadu Buhari to rescind his endorsement of Osagie Ize-Iyamu as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Candidates in the September 19 governorship election in Edo State.
Kick Corruption Out of Nigeria petitio to President Buhari came less than 24 hours after he endorsed Ize-Iyamu.
The group said Buhari’s endorsement of Ize-Iyamu, who is standing trial for alleged fraud, negates the president’s anti-corruption drive. It said the endorsement was disappointing.
“We believed that since Ize-Iyamu is still in court facing corruption charges, you will distance yourself from him,” the spokesman of the group, Lawrence Chukwu, said in a letter addressed to Buhari.
“We were wrong.”
