The Nigerian ambassador to Argentina, Peru, Paraguay and Chile, Jonah Mkpuruka, has accused desperate politicians of sponsoring killings across the country.
Mkpuruka who made the accusation at the All Progressives Congress (APC) headquarters in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, South-East Nigeria, however, stopped short of mentioning any name associated with the alleged killings.
Daily Trust in a report on Wednesday June 13, states that the ambassador told stakeholders and members of the party that the sponsors of the killings were not comfortable with the anti-corruption drive of the Buhari administration.
He said: “The killings you are hearing, they are being sponsored by desperate people who are not satisfied with the loots they have made; they want to come back. They are not comfortable with the anti-corruption programme of Mr President.
“They want to make sure they boot him out at all cost. But I want to tell you that he is returning to put this country on the right path.
“In 2015, one of us here won election and he lost his result on transit. This time around, from here to Abuja there is nothing to disturb us in delivering our result. We are going to win and we are not going to lose our result on transit again.”
