The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday, accused President Muhammadu Buhari of aiding corruption in the alleged secret release of over N16.6bn Paris Club fund to Osun state.

The PDP, in a statement released by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, claimed its investigation has revealed that the N16.67bn is to be allegedly diverted as bribe to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials, compromise international observers, as well as pay hoodlums contracted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in its desperate plot to rig the September 22, 2018 Osun Governorship elections.

The party said it is reprehensible that President Buhari, whose handlers have been parading as ‘Mr. Integrity’, could approve such dark scheme to convert funds meant for payment of several months’ arrears of workers’ salaries to bribe electoral officers and pay thugs to foist a rejected leadership on an already impoverished peopLE.
