Executive order - PDP feeling the heat already says Garba Shehu

-
THE Presidency Thursday said that with the signing of the Executive Order 6 by President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, the government will wield the big stick against those that indulged in corrupt practices.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu specifically stated that it was because of the heat the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was facing that the party has decided to criticize any policy of government to discredit the administration.
According to him, “Every day, harsh words against the government are all that the President gets from Wadata House, the Head Office of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, because their leaders, as do some other Nigerians are already feeling the heat. To say the truth, I am not sure if there are many of our citizens who expected any PDP support for the President in his war against corruption.
“In spite of all the achievements recorded, you still hear complaints that the anti-corruption isn’t as dramatic as Nigerians wished it to be. Some want the country to do it the Chinese way. Others say the government is not arresting the powerful people.
“For the Buhari administration, concern lies in the fact that corruption has become a big problem because investigation, prosecution and trial in courts are made harder by persons accused of crimes relating to it. They are using the enormous resources in their possession to thwart the system.
“The President’s view is that, it is only a clean Nigeria that can attract foreign investment, free money for more of the capital projects the administration is executing and creating jobs for our teeming population of young men and women.
“The President says in the interest of justice and the welfare of the Nigerian state, persons accused of crimes relating to corruption must be prevented from utilizing the proceeds and dissipating such assets suspected to be proceeds of corruption (or associated with corruption) pending final determination of any investigation or legal actions related to such assets or owners thereof.”

These remarks came during the commissioning of Fire Fighting Trucks at the FFS Headquarters in Abuja, in October 2023. The urgency for reform within the Federal Fire Service has become apparent, with the need to align its operations with the Renewed Hope Agenda set by the President of Nigeria. A rebranded Fire and Rescue Service bill is pending before the National Assembly, aiming to introduce innovative fire prevention and fighting systems to significantly reduce fire incidents. The FFS has long been a silent and under-recognized department with enormous potential. The proposal calls for the establishment of a
