A former National Chairman of the Progressive People’s Alliance, Chief Sam Nkire, has condemned all the political parties that collected what he termed “blood money” in order to endorse former President Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 presidential election.
Speaking on the “DasukiGate” for the first time, Chief Nkire said those who collected money from the office of the National Security Adviser, retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki, knew full well they were collecting blood money meant for soldiers fighting the war against Boko Haram.
According to Chief Nkire, who is now a member of the Board of Trustees of the All Progressives Congress, no national chairman of any political party worth its salt should collect bribe to endorse the candidate of another political party no matter how hungry they were.
Nkire said as the National Chairman of PPA, neither him nor his party asked for, let alone collected money from a presidential candidate of another political party.
He condemned the Peoples Democratic Party for not supporting President Muhammadu Buhari’s war against corruption, adding that it was a strange irony that no member of the PDP seemed to either hate or condemn corruption.
The APC chieftain therefore called on all Nigerians, including members of the opposition parties, to support the war against corruption.
According to him, the bad effect on the economy spares no one.
