Dr. Tony Aziegbemi, university don cum politician served two terms in the House of Representatives on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in his interview with Vanguard spoke extensively on the $2bn arms deal scandal.

When asked about his reaction to insinuations that the ongoing anti-corruption war is one sided, said: "I did not vote for Buhari in the last presidential election and I am so happy that I voted for former President Goodluck Eble Jonathan."

"I am happy that I did. Having said that, I think with Buhari at the helm of affairs in this country, Nigerians are in for a one chance bus. We are doomed for disaster; Buhari does not have the capacity to lead this country."

"Buhari knows and if he doesn’t know, that is a pity, that the office of the National Security Adviser is an office that is made to give security cover to the government of the day in whatsoever form or shape."

"He knows that the money he is talking about that the National Security Adviser gave to many people is not money from the budget of the nation. It is not. He should know if he doesn’t know that the office of the National Security Adviser will be there after him and he is trying to rubbish that office."

"The President knows that the office of the National Security Adviser can and is mostly used for some of those things he is accusing Col. Sambo Dasuki of. So, what Buhari is doing is shamelessly probing the political funds of the PDP though the backdoor. That is what he is doing with the Dasukigate.

*I can guess that there are over twenty different accounts in the office of the National Security Adviser and not all monies that come into the office of National Security Adviser are meant for the purchase of arms. Not. If not, where did the National Security Adviser get the money to buy the three Bullet Proof Jeeps they gave him after he was attacked and almost assassinated by Boko – Haram? That money was not taken from the account meant for the Armed forces."
