President Muhammadu
Buhari will not extend his
corruption probe beyond
the administration of
former President Goodluck
Jonathan, the presidency
has said.


Mr. Buhari, who is currently
on official visit to the United
States, has consistently
vowed to investigate and
bring to book, persons who
looted the country’s funds.
The president said on
Tuesday he will arrest and
prosecute past ministers
and other officials who stole
Nigeria’s oil and diverted
government’s money to
personal accounts.


But the Special Adviser on
Media and Public Affairs to
Mr. Buhari, Femi Adesina,
said the president will limit
his anti-corruption war to
the immediate past
administration in the
country.

He said Mr. Buhari will not
waste time in probing the
administrations of former
President Olusegun
Obasanjo, Abdulsalam
Abubakar, Sani Abacha and
Ibrahim Babangida.
He said even before he was
sworn in to office on May
29, the president had
categorically stated that he
would not extend his
corruption probe beyond
the Jonathan government.


“If you recall, that was
already settled before he got
inaugurated as president.
He has said he will not
waste time digging into the
far past,” Mr. Adesina said.
“The far past will includes
Obasanjo and others. But
the president has said he
will not waste time to go
that far.”


Before leaving office, Mr.
Jonathan had said any
probe by the new government would
be seen as a “witch hunt” if it fails to
go beyond his administration.
Speaking on criticisms over President
Buhari’s decision to travel to the U.S.
with his son, Yusuf, the presidential
spokesperson said Mr. Buhari did not
breach any rule.

He said it was a normal practice for
presidents to travel with members of
their families, citing the example of
American presidents who travel
abroad with their wives and children.
“There is absolutely nothing wrong
with the president travelling with one
of his sons. It is an acceptable and
standard practice. He could go with up
to four members of his family.
“Don’t forget that when former
President Bill Clinton visited Nigeria
while he was in office, he came with
his daughter, Chelsea.


“President Barak Obama travels with
his children and so the President of
Nigeria can travel out with three or
four of his children. Late President
Umaru Yar’Adua used to travel with
two of his sons and one of his
grandchildren,” he said.
Mr. Adesina described the outcome of
the president’s official visit to the US as
“a roaring success on every side.”
“There are good returns. It is an
investment that will yield very
handsome returns.”

Seconded Sir.......!

This man is a big joker. Change indeed

Buhari can probe Probe the past administration but it should be transparent shouldnt be an avenue to witch hunt his perceived enemies and targeting his political opponents.

probe all u want. we're waiting

Vindictive old fool.

Keep distracting with your witch hunting but it won't make your presidency collapse before the end of this year.

Inasmuch as I support probing of corrupt leaders, limiting it to the last administration only isn't healthy at all. While I believe Jonathan might escape this probe, many of his cabinet members won't survive it.

PMB's fight against corruption is sectional and a witch hunt. Equity and justice should be our guiding principles.

There's every cause to believe that either Buhari or Femi Adesina lack integrity. Saying one thing today and recanting tomorrow is obviously not a hallmark of men with impeccable characteristics. In the rundown to the elections Buhari expressly said he "will not probe Jonathan or any other previous adminstration because he does not want to be bogged down with endless probe". So why is Femi Adesina telling us Buhari said he will not probe "far" into the past? Why is it difficult to find responsible individuals in Nigeria again? Imagine a former editor of a major tabloid in Nigeria telling lies with this recklessness. I have once said that Nigeria was dead both spiritually and physically the day Buhari was elected President.

Ppl will always talk. Baba do the little you can and leave the rest to posterity
