Anti-corruption War Is Non-negotiable, Buhari Replies Jonathan’s ministers by stanleychimezie(f): 8:56pm On Aug 30, 2015
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday
replied former Nigerian ministers who
questioned the sincerity of his anti-corruption
war, saying it is not intended to rubbish the
name of anyone.

The ministers, who served in the administration of
ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, had in a statement
cautioned against selective anti-corruption war and
warned against labelling the Jonathan government
as corrupt.

In his response, Mr. Buhari’s spokesperson,
Garba Shehu, asked the country’s latest “trade
union formation, the Association of Ex-
Jonathan Ministers to do a bit of self-reflection
on the sort of government they handed to
President Muhammadu Buhari back in May to
determine for themselves if it would have been
right for any incoming government, not just
this one to ignore the issue of the brazen theft
of public assets, perhaps the first of its kind we
have ever seen in this country”.

“Earlier statements made in this regard that
there is no witch hunt or malice against anyone
in the pursuit of the county’s stolen assets still
stands” Shehu said in a statement, Sunday in Abuja.

He added that the war against corruption
knows no friend nor foe, he said .

Mr. Shehu said there was no intention to deny
anyone of their good name where they are
entitled to it and that President Buhari reserves
the highest regards for the country’s former
leaders including Mr. Jonathan who he
continues to praise for the way and manner in
which he accepted defeat in the last election.

“For the purpose of emphasis, the issue of
fighting corruption by President Buhari is non-
negotiable.

“It is sine qua non to the overall reconstruction
of the economy and social systems which
suffered destruction and severe denigration
under the last administration. President Buhari
will not be deterred or blackmailed into retreat
and surrender” he said.

He added that no one in the opposition Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, can accuse President
Buhari of undermining the economy when “all
they handed over to him is at best, was a tottering
economy hobbled by corruption and
the absence of due process”.

He added that the situation in Nigeria has
become worsened by the continuing fall of oil
prices, which is expected to fall even further
with the imminent full return of Iran to the global oil market.

According to Mr. Shehu, all the president has been
doing is to put things together, organize to defeat
Boko Haram, pay outstanding salaries, clean up the
mess left behind, improve security and restore
Nigeria’s relationships with neighbours and the
world.

“So what are former ministers afraid of in these
things? Have they become a new trade union?

“Let this collection of ex-VIPs allow the President the peace he needs to handle the reconstruction of the economy and the nation in a manner that most
serves Nigeria’s best interests.

“President Buhari does not need these types of
distraction presented by the so-called association of
former ministers”.

Buhari start working for Nigeria. Was corruption the only campaign promise to Nigerians.

SMH! Everyday, what is emanating from the presidency and APC is corruption this, corruption that. Enough of this rubbish... jail the corrupt ones and start looking at other sectors.

Buhar-! What is your Eduction policy?
Buhari! What is you health policy?
Buhari! What is your foreign policy?
Buhari! Apart from taking the nigerian arny unit to borni, what is your security policy?
Buhari! What is your agicultural policy?
Buhari! What is your economy policy?

This APC and it president keep on shouting corruption since 3months this guy was sworn in. Nothing else to show for how and where this government is headed.

Unfortunately, APC supporters will attack me meaninglessly.

Every thing that emanates from the presidency is corruption talks, nothing else to talk about in this government?
