The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Honorable Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, has vowed to release the names of more politicians that looted public funds, after the two previous sets of lists released by the government were criticised for containing only the names of the members of the opposition party, PDP.
In a statement issued in Lagos today, Lai Mohammed, said since the release of the first two looters lists, there have been “overt and covert attempts to intimidate and blackmail the federal government into discontinuing the release of more looters” names.
He said: “Hack writers have inundated the social and traditional media with articles casting aspersion on the lists, while some newspapers have even resorted to writing editorials against the federal government over the release of the lists. Most of the write-ups have accused the government of politicising the anti-graft war by releasing the lists. We strongly disagree with them”.
