The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to probe a former governor of Lagos State and the All Progressives Congress (APC) leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, over allegations of N160bn tax fraud.

The party said failure of the EFCC to invite and question the ex-governor would not only suggest the commission has become corrupt, but also expose the level of rot in the APC-led government.

“If President Buhari is as clean as his handlers would want Nigerians to believe; if the Presidency is not complicit of corruption, the PDP challenges Mr. President to allow an investigation and prosecution of Alpha Beta, in an open court, just as his government has been harassing the members of the opposition, as well as perceived opponents,” the PDP demanded.
