By Charles Adegbite Founder of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), Dr. Frederick Fasehun has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to carry out his anti- corruption war beyond the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan and extend it to former presidents Ibrahim Babangida, Olusegun Obasanjo and General Abdulsalam Abubakar (retd). He told Daily Sun in an interview yesterday in his Lagos office that any attempt to probe Jonathan’s administration alone would amount to witch hunting. According to him, President Buhari should also investigate all other past leaders, who had ruled the country since 1960. When asked if that would not be a complete distraction from other administrative responsibilities of the government, Fasehun argued that the Federal Government could employ the services of retired judges, who had good reputation to carry out the probe. Some critics of Jonathan’s government have argued that if the immediate past president did not do that for five years of his administration, why should Buhari be asked to do that in four years. In response to this, Fasehun said, “it is either Buhari probes all the past leaders who have ruled the nation since Nigeria gained her independence in 1960 or not carry out the probe at all. “Why should Jonathan’s government be the only one to be probed?,” he asked rhetorically, saying if Jonathan’s administration was the only one that looted the nation’s treasuries, probing his government alone would be okay. Fasehun, who will soon be 80 years old, however, lamented the rate of unemployment, poverty and poor level of education in the country, saying that if his Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), founded few years ago, was given the opportunity to govern Nigeria, all these problems would have been addressed. President Buhari’s determination to recover the money looted by some individuals during the tenure of the immediate past president began from the day he allegedly met the government treasury empty on his assumption of office three months ago. He has vowed to recover the money looted and stashed in foreign banks by those corrupt Nigerians, according to his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina. Adesina had quoted him as saying, “the next three months may be hard, but billions of dollars can be recovered, and we will do our best.” Daily Sun gathered that Nigeria’s stolen funds had been traced to the USA, UK, Switzerland and other countries and the president was passionate about recovering them, to enable his government get enough money to carry out his electoral promises to Nigerians, now that the prices of crude oil have crashed. “Where is the money recovered from Abacha during the past administration? What did the government use the money for? Our leaders have been leading us with falsehood,” Fasehun asked. While canvassing for votes during his campaign early this year, Buhari had said, “if we don’t kill corruption in this country, corruption will kill Nigeria.” This statement was one of the reasons Nigerians voted for the man, who was dethroned 30 years ago as a military head of state by General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida and his military team, for alleged hardship people faced when he (Buhari) carried out his War Against Indiscipline (WAI).

Hmmmm

Will buhari do that?

Right this to do it is!

Its very clear Buhari mission is to useless GEJ regime and he's doing that already.. But the most painful thing is Jonathan failed to probe Obasanjo while he was still the president. I qat no feelings for Buhari and Apc propaganda.

Bunch of crap.

Did PMB succeed OBJ and IBB on May 29, 2015?

Joker

Probe OBJ, Probe Abdulsalam, probe Tafawa Balewa... Where were all this people in the 6yrs of GEJ; all of a sudden good God fearing Man has emerged and they want to derail him with all these wicked calls. I want records of these same people asking GEJ to probe the administration's before him then I will believe they are for real. I never heard them ask for that. Now they want Buhari to probe Lord Lugard all in an attempt to confuse the Man. The low hanging fruits first... GEJ first. The theft is still fresh and can be traced and recovered quicker.

Any leader who does not look into the financial activities of the administration before him/her has failed and should never be respected by decent people. This is on a normal ground O! Not to even talk of the new administration inheriting billions in debt and unfinished white elephant projects still requiring billions to complete, unpaid salaries and pensions etc. No way!

what shall he profit a man if e probes and no one goes to jail?

Yea, u re right. But who is Buhari to probe babagida? If really d Buhari of WAI then he can do it. Why really is he after GEJ when u ve d greatest criminal nigeria has ever had in Babagida. He won't cos Buhari and Babagida are both mallam shehu( cattle men. Melumelu). Where is this secret ole in Abubakar. Abeg I no fit talk
