President Buhari’s deafening silence regarding the arrest of Nasir Danu, at Heathrow Airport, United Kingdom, for an alleged passport scam and money laundering, has propelled the PDP to challenge the President, demanding that he breaks his silence over the arrest.
Nasir Danu, who can be referred as an arrowhead in what is now known as the President Mohammadu Buhari’s Oil Mafia group, had been arrested on friday when caught with fake Malta Passport and in his possession, more than £200,000.00 in cash.
President Buhari however has refused to make any statement regarding this, given the reported confessions of Danu and alleged links to people closely related to the President, particularly the First Lady, Aisha Buhari.
It is also being speculated that the £200,000.00 in cash, worth over N90 million, which Danu was carrying to give someone in the UK according to him, may have been for Aisha Buhari who has been in the UK for about three months.
Daily Trust then reported that the PDP in a statement yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, had insisted that the President’s silence over the arrest is deafening self-indicting.
The party says the Buhari Presidency must also speak out on this huge scandal and allegations that Danu’s has been in the business of connecting the said close relation of the President with many oil contractors for alleged underhand deals through which billions of naira get frittered.
“The PDP notes that this is beside allegations of being a front for scandalous contracts running into billions of naira from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, among other government agencies.
“The party cautions the Buhari Presidency to perish the thoughts of concealing this scandal as it is already in the public domain with Nigerians demanding for investigations.

“The PDP therefore charges the Buhari Presidency to immediately order an open investigation into the matter and expose those in this scandalous racket.
“Nigerians can now further see how the Buhari Presidency stinks. Our party therefore insists that for a government that always orchestrates claims of integrity and zero tolerance for corruption, it behoves on the Presidency to come clean as well as order an investigation into this huge allegation,” the party said.
