President Muhammadu Buhari on
Tuesday said his administration had
received firm assurances of
cooperation from the United States
and other countries in his quest to
recover and repatriate funds stolen
from Nigeria.
According to a statement by his
Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the
President spoke while granting
audience to members of the Northern
Traditional Rulers Council led by the
Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad
Abubakar III, at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja.
Adesina quoted Buhari as saying that
it was now up to Nigeria to provide
the international community with the
facts and figures needed to drive the
recovery effort.
He said he would be busy, in the
next three months, getting the facts
that would help in recovering the
stolen funds.
“In the next three months, our
administration will be busy getting
those facts and the figures to help us
recover our stolen funds in foreign
countries,” Adesina quoted the
President as saying.
Citing the report submitted by the
Ahmed Joda-led transition
committee, President Buhari said that
several revenue-generating
institutions in the country had been
compromised.
On insecurity, the President was also
quoted as telling the traditional rulers
that they would play a key role in
stemming terrorism and insurgency
in the country.
This, he said, they would do by
assisting the government with cost-
effective intelligence gathering.
Buhari also assured the traditional
rulers that his administration was
working hard to end insecurity and
terrorism in the country in the
shortest possible time with the
cooperation of neighbouring
countries and the international
community.
Acknowledging that Nigerians
expected a lot from his
administration, the President
appealed for patience and
understanding while his government
works diligently to speedily overcome
the huge national challenges it
inherited.
The Sultan had earlier presented the
Northern Traditional Rulers’
recommendations to the President on
issues related to national
development.
He told the President that as
custodians of tradition and
stakeholders in the Nigerian project,
the traditional rulers had a
responsibility to always advise
political leaders on the “path of truth
and justice.”
“We have always advised our leaders,
but their acceptance of our advice is
their own prerogative,” the Sultan
said.
The traditional rulers assured the
President of their unflinching support
for his administration’s efforts to fulfil
its promises to Nigerians.
The traditional rulers later joined the
President in the traditional breaking
of fast.
They were also joined by some state
governors.

Yes, supported get back the stolen funds.

PMB, why must US also help us to recover loots. Why is US involved in everything we do in Nigeria.

Boko Haram- US

Bring Back our Girls- US

Looted Funds- US

Election Speeches- US (B. Obama)

Refineries- US

Dont let me believe you are going in the direction of the clue-less one too.

Let us leave the west alone and do things our own way.

Nigeria is a Sovereign state.

old age shall, so this man think Nigeria will on foreign country for everything. Dollard of duara the Dogo YARO pls used your head

Us should stay away from the affairs of my country. . . they're our enemies disguised as a our friends
. . . they've done more harm than Good

Mr President pls be very deligent in ur dealings with the US. They are ready to scam nig.

Does he intend to recover the stolen funds before any other thing? I hope not,if so, Until when. Nigerians are eager to see d change that they desired. I am not saying he shouldnt try to recover them but first thing first. But he should be careful wit d so-called USA. They dont do business they wont gain frm

.Spot on.America surely know .Abeg,PMB,make u recover every stolen money from the cronies of oga stealing isn't corruption.Even spoon dey charted away.thieves

I thought he'll fight Corruption. He never told us USA was helping him fight corruption. Mad insane lunatic. Has OBJ been arrested??

If this is not another version of "US will know" then i wonder what it is.

Dull brain

I guess the President Buhari wasn't in the country when jonadinho said "America will know if money is missing in Nigeria",.
Nawa 0oo, too many dribbles and legover by these politicians. Una go break leg. I swear!!!

,

Pride & arrogance will always go before a mighty fall!!

If you don't have the resources & wherewithal to help yourself, the sane thing is to reach out to people who can help you...

We hope you TANoids above with your blind & hate filled criticism can proffer a way for Nigeria to recover her LOOTED FUNDS in FOREIGN COUNTRIES & ACCOUNT without involving the INTERPOL & WESTERN AGENCIES / GOVTS

I thought they said our Abokï had zero tolerance for corruption so why must U.S help him in recovering our stolen funds.

PMB, PRESIDENT ACTORS GUILD OF NIGERIA... ALWAYS ACTING MOVIE, SOMEONE SHOULD TELL DS MAN DAT D ECONOMY N SECURITY OF DS COUNTRY NEED TO GET BK TO TRACK 1ST, HE IS PUTTING ALL HIS FINGERS IN DA MOUTH, ONE THING FIRST, D ECONOMY NEEDS CRITICAL ATTENTION, LEAVE D WORK OF, "RECOVERY" TO DA EFCC. GET D ECONOMY N SECURITY BK TO TRACK, DAT SHOULD B UR NO1 PRIORITY. BY D WAY, ANY ANTI CORRUPTION FIGHT DAT DOESNT START WITH TINUBU IS NOTHING BUT WITCH- HUNTING.

US and other western nations should not need our prompting to seize and repatriate stolen money irrespective of the govt in power. It's hypocritical to turn blind eyes to illegal wired transfers into their banks and later pretend to be helping us recover what should ordinarily not have been allowed into their economies

We await results!!!!

America??

No comment.

Bros, beware of "Uncle Sam"!
