The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday challenged the President Muhammadu Buhari led government to set up a National Truth Commission where politicians and other Nigerians would publicly discuss the true meaning of corrupt practices in the country.

The opposition party while reiterating its support for the anti-corruption crusade, however called for investigation into the source of funding of the PDP and All Progressives Congress (APC) 2015 Presidential campaigns as well as presidential security votes since 1984.

It also called for investigation into the contributions from APC controlled state governors for their presidential campaign as well as allegations that some serving ministers were appointed to cover up the slush fund that they provided to finance the APC presidential campaign.

It however noted that until top officials of the former government open up on the exact source of the funding, it remains premature to be accusing their party members of corrupt practices.

The arrest of former National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki, over use of funds supposedly meant for procurement of weapons to fight insurgency, have led to arrests of prominent persons who benefitted from the largesse.
