Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari and his cabals were responsible for the reinstatement Maina.

The party made the claims when faulting allegations by presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, that loyalists of the past administration of Goodluck Jonathan were behind the return of Maina.

The party in a statement on Thursday, October 26, through its national publicity secretary, Dayo Adeyeye, discredited the APC administration’s fight against corruption as mere propaganda and road-show.

The party asked Shehu and others in the government to resign if they had nothing more to contribute to the administration.
