The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has slammed claims that President Buhari is being selective, by deciding to probe Goodluck Jonathan's administration.

In an interview with Sun Newspapers, Oyegun gave reasons why Buhari wants to only probe the past administration.

Oyegun said:

The President I’m aware knows that he has only four years, minus 2 months. So it is not four years anymore and if he wants to probe Nigeria, where does he stop? 16 years? 50 years?

Where do you stop when you want to do that kind of probe? What is important is that the level of impunity in the last six years was high. The level of rot in the last six years, the extent to which the economy of this nation has been damaged in the last 6 years is something all of us agree needs to be looked into.

It is phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal I do not know. I can’t speak for the President, neither can I speak for the Presidency but I’m not aware there is going to be a formal probe, meaning the High Court Judge with a few people sitting with him. But these things are there even if you don’t want to see them, they are sitting right in front of you.

The impunity of the corruption is looking at you in the eyes. Nigerians by the time we are talking about saw people not bothered about hiding anymore. So, when talking about probe, you can turn without seeing the damage, the theft, massive theft; so that is the way I interpret it.
