No ‘Corrupt’ Person will Go Scot-free by Joining APC – Buhari
POLITICS DIGEST – President Muhammadu Buhari has said no person accused of corruption can go scot-free even if they join his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
President Buhari said this in an interview on the NTA aired on Thursday night.
Many Nigerians believe that opposition politicians accused of corruption or on trial for corruption join the APC to avoid being punished.

The party’s former national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, had during the 2019 campaign told opposition politicians in the presence of President Buhari that as soon as they join the APC, “their sins are forgiven.”
Some politicians accused of corruption who have recently joined the ruling party include ex-aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, former Ogun state governor, Gbenga Daniel, and a senator from Anambra state, Stella Oduah.
President Buhari, however, said joining the APC does not absolve anyone accused of corruption from the crime.
