The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the looters list released by the Federal Government as part of ploy by the government to divert people’s attention from public discourse.
The party made the observation in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, on Tuesday in Abuja.
He said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had failed in its ploy to use the looters lists to divert public discourse from the raging questions on their numerous scandals, manifest sleazes and overall failures in governance.
The PDP said the nation had now seen that the Federal Government had no case against the PDP.

It noted that the lists only had individuals who were not indicted or convicted for corruption, adding that some of them were not even members of the PDP.
“It is now a notorious fact that the whole essence of the flimsy and contemptible lists was to cause public misperception, ‘change the topic’, and divert international and national discourse from various serious issues.”
These, according to PDP, included the “parlous state of the nation’s economy” for which Nigerians now resort to vices, including slavery and suicide as options.
It also listed intensive global criticism of APC-led government, particularly with the latest from Bill Gates and eminent statesmen.
